How to Register and Manage Virtual Domain Names on Cardano Name Service

This guide will provide detailed steps on how to register and manage virtual domain names in the Cardano Name Service. Please note, this function is only available to collaborating projects with reserved domain names and auctioned domain names. Each domain name can have up to 10 virtual domains.

Prerequisites

Before proceeding with the steps outlined here, make sure:

• You own a project’s reserved CNS or auctioned CNS on the Cardano Name Service.

• You have a Cardano wallet address to link with your virtual domain.

Step-by-step Guide

Step 1: Access the CNS List Page

Navigate to the CNS list page on the https://cns.space/profile This is where you will manage your parent CNS and its virtual domains.

Step 2: Select Your Parent CNS

From the list of CNS, select your parent CNS. This is the reserved or auctioned domain under which you'll create the virtual domains.

Step 3: Choose a Virtual Domain Name

Input your desired virtual domain name. The virtual domain name will be a prefix to your existing CNS name. For example, if your parent CNS is hinson.ada and you want to create a virtual domain for "peter", your virtual domain will be peter.hinson.ada.

Step 4: Link Cardano Wallet Address

Provide your Cardano wallet address in the designated input field. This will link your virtual domain with your Cardano wallet.

Step 6: Confirm and Register

Review the information you've inputted. Once everything is accurate, click on the "Update" button to register your new virtual domain.

Managing Your Virtual Domains

After creating your virtual domain, you can manage it from the CNS list page. Here's how:

Step 1: Access the CNS List Page

Go to the CNS list page again. You should see your newly created virtual domain listed under the parent CNS.

Step 2: Select the Virtual Domain

Click on the virtual domain you want to manage. This will open up the management options for that specific CNS.

Step 3: Make Necessary Changes

Depending on the management options provided, you can link or unlink a Cardano wallet, modify the virtual domain name, or delete the virtual domain entirely.

Step 4: Save Changes

After making your desired changes, make sure to save them. Look for a button labeled "Update" and click on it.
