Step 1. Log in to the 1&1 Control Panel using your Customer ID OR domain name and your password.

  • B). Select backup name servers from the Additional name servers drop-down menu
  • C). Please note that the Additional name servers act as a backup in the case of an outage by your primary name server, which will result in traffic being directed to the IP address of your Additional name servers.
