If you have parked a domain in the mybox Panel and changed its DNS servers to point to mybox, you may still see a warning indicating that there is a problem with the domain configuration.
This is usually a temporary situation and, in most cases, does not indicate an actual issue with your domain.

Example DNS Server Configuration
When using mybox DNS servers, the domain should be delegated to:
ns1.mybox.com
ns2.mybox.com
After changing the DNS servers at your domain registrar, the mybox Panel may temporarily display a warning about incorrect delegation or DNS configuration.
Why Does This Happen?
The most common reason is DNS propagation.
DNS changes are not visible across the internet immediately. When you modify:
- DNS servers (nameservers)
- DNS records
- Domain delegation settings
the changes must propagate through DNS systems worldwide.
This process depends on:
- Internet service providers
- DNS resolvers
- DNS cache expiration times
- Registry updates
How Long Does Propagation Take?
In most cases, DNS propagation completes within:
Up to 24 hours
During this period:
- Some users may see the new configuration.
- Others may still see the previous configuration.
- The mybox Panel may temporarily report a configuration issue.
This behavior is normal.
Newly Registered Domains
Propagation delays can also occur for newly registered domains.
After a domain is registered, information must be distributed across multiple DNS systems before the domain becomes fully visible on the internet.
During this time, warnings in the panel may appear even when the configuration is correct.
Domains Using External DNS Servers
In some cases, a domain may be parked in mybox while continuing to use external DNS servers.
Examples include:
- A website hosted elsewhere.
- Email services hosted elsewhere.
- Third-party DNS management.
In this scenario, the mybox Panel may report that the domain is not delegated correctly because it is not using the mybox DNS servers.
If this configuration is intentional, the warning can generally be ignored.
Hiding the Warning
If your domain is intentionally delegated to external DNS servers and you do not want to see the warning message:
- Open the domain management section in the mybox Panel.
- Locate the reported issue.
- Choose the option to ignore or dismiss the warning.
This only hides the notification and does not affect the operation of the domain.
How to Verify DNS Propagation
If you are unsure whether the DNS changes have propagated correctly, you can:
- Check the current nameservers.
- Verify DNS records using online DNS lookup tools.
- Compare the results from multiple locations worldwide.
This helps confirm whether the domain is already pointing to the correct infrastructure.
When Should You Contact Support?
Contact the mybox support team if:
- More than 24 hours have passed since the DNS change.
- The domain still reports configuration errors.
- The website is inaccessible.
- Email services are not working correctly.
- You are unsure whether the DNS configuration is correct.
You can contact support through the:
24/7 Helpdesk
Summary
After parking a domain and changing its DNS servers, the mybox Panel may temporarily display a warning about domain configuration.
The most common cause is DNS propagation, which can take up to 24 hours to complete.
If the domain is intentionally using external DNS servers, the warning can usually be ignored or dismissed without affecting the operation of the website or email services.
