Create
Browse to your Property, and click the Domains tab, then click on the + Domain button:
Make sure to enable the toggle for Reseller in the edit dialog. Specify the domain
name (must be a Fully Qualified Domain Name, FQDN), and click Save.
After saving your changes, click on the the Glue Records (DNS Records) icon (which will have a red-x):
Glue Records
Glue records are important if you are using vanity nameservers in your client domains. If you are not using vanity nameservers, you can skip this section.
Glue records are important when you are using your reseller or agency domain nameservers as the nameservers for your client domain(s). They tell the DNS system on the public internet where to lookup DNS records for the domains you are managing for your clients, and because you are (effectively) the root nameservers for your client domain(s), you must add these entries to your registrar, so other DNS clients on the internet can lookup hostnames for your client domain(s).
The values below are an example ONLY–your domain will have different values, which you should use to configure with your registrar. DO NOT USE THE VALUES BELOW!

Verified Example
This is what an example looks like once everything is setup correctly and verified:
Due to the way DNS works, when you refresh the status of your nameservers, it may change between verified and unverified. This is normal, as it takes time to propagate the changes across the public internet. If it is still unverified after 24h, please contact us.
Records
In order to add Records, click on the Zone:
Creating records is as simple as clicking on the Create button and specifying values for each field:
Assuming we are creating a record example.premiumwpreseller.org that will resolve to the IP Address 1.2.3.4
using an A record, this is what it might look like:
We do not allow specifying or editing DNS records for NS or SOA, as those are self-managed by the MyWordPress.io platform.
After saving the new record, it should show up in your domain:
