Setting up custom nameservers in CentOS Web Panel (CWP) allows you to use personalized domain name servers, such as ns1.yourdomain.com and ns2.yourdomain.com. This setup is essential for server administrators and web hosting providers who want more control over DNS and branding.
Please note that the nameservers that you update here should already be registered
