Blog Creation

PBN Pilot almost has a one click service. You will need to select WWW or non-WWW and then create. From there you will need to add an A RECORD. You can find the correct IP address to use on the platform on the right of your new website under Server.

example:
A Record @ 187.123.11.13
A Record www 187.123.11.13

 

Name Servers

PBN Pilot use the 'A RECORD' method for DNS rather than using Nameservers. In this case Whois will list your Domain Registrar's default DNS, which means all your network blogs will have the same nameservers as the registrar they are registered with. Even if you have several registrars, you will still end up with very similar pattern through your network. For example you have 20 sites on 4 registrars. Five sites will have the default DNS of registrar 1, etc.  Other blog networks allow you to put in the Nameserver into custom name servers such as NS1.Godaddy.com, and nearly each site will be different for each blog leaving much less of an obvious footprint.

 

Blog Email

PBN Pilot does not provide a custom email and without CPanel access no way to create a custom email for that website for contact or legal reasons.
