Setup Private Nameserver For Reseller Account In WHM/Cpanel

You can setup your own private nameserver if you have reseller account access rights. For example if you have domain ivankristianto.com, you can set your nameserver to ns1.ivankristianto.com and ns2.ivankristianto.com rather than use your hosting provider default nameserver. This will make you have more credibility.
