Glue records link your domain's nameservers to their corresponding IP addresses at your TLD's registry. They're essential when hosting your domain on your own servers instead of using default nameservers.

Prerequisites:

• Own server infrastructure
• Server administration knowledge
• Server's hostname and IP address

Adding Glue Records:

1. Access your domain's DNS settings
2. Navigate to Nameserver Registration
3. Click "Add Host Record"
4. Enter your server's hostname
5. Add the IP address
6. Save changes

Note: Changes typically take 24-48 hours to propagate.

Removing Glue Records:

1. Ensure nameservers point to a different destination first
2. Access DNS settings
3. Go to Domain Nameservers
4. Select Nameserver Registration
5. Delete host record using trash can icon
6. Save changes

Important: Removing glue records while in use can cause 24-48 hours of service disruption.

Best Practices:

• Keep server information readily available
• Plan changes during low-traffic periods
• Always verify nameserver configurations before removing glue records
• Allow sufficient time for DNS propagation
• Maintain backup DNS settings in case of issues

Remember: Glue records are crucial for custom nameserver setups. Incorrect configuration can result in domain resolution problems.
