Vanity Nameservers are nameservers that represent your reseller business to your clients, and contain your domain name, but let you still manage the domain as a separate zone from your main reseller zone.
Assuming you have premiumwpreseller.org
as your reseller domain, and example.com
as a property zone, the nameservers
registered for both names will look like this:
Vanity nameservers are not required, but can be a nice way to have additional market reach with each of your zone properties you manage, although they do require a little more setup up-front.
