What you would be creating is a ns1. record and a ns2. record at your domain that points to the two nameserver IPs that were given to you in your welcome email. After having done this you will be able to use them as nameservers for your sites and for your clients' sites.
And you have not been hogging support time - it's not a problem

You need to go to your domain registrar and add child nameservers or host records to your domain. It depends on who your registrar is as to what it is called and where you will find it in the control panel.

I have tried that. I am working with the domain ddhwebdesign.com. It is registered with you. I keep getting data invalid rejected. I know I must be doing something wrong but alas can not seem to figure out the problem. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

You are the man Mike greatly appreciated.I've created ns1 and ns2 records for you and all you need to do is point your domain(s) to them and they will resolve.

You need to make sure you add the ns1 and ns2 as a "host record" or "child nameserver" or "private nameserver" (the term varies from registrar to registrar) and point them to the IPs in the welcome email.

I didn't want to make a ns1 and ns2 only to find out that their domains wouldn't resolve since they were not authorized for managing the domain.
Kind of like editing in the WHM backend would do no good if the files being edited were on a completely different server.

I don't quite follow what you're saying...I didn't know how that would affect the customers.

We've got plenty of patience, I just didn't quite understand what you were trying to sayWell I am just saying that simply because I list a name server in their setup information does not actually mean it would contain their zone file data. Nor would they answer as authoritative for the zone in question. Kind of like a cache poisoning situation. Please have patience with me it has been around 10 years since I studied DNS zone management and back then they were using BIND 4
