Please note that the zone file for your domain name must contain A records for your name server's hostnames. The hostnames for your name servers must be created on the authoritative name servers for the domain name. The authoritative name servers are the name servers that you have your domain pointed at in the Name Servers section under the Manage Domain tab in your Hover account.
