Hello everybody! I just learned that I can get a free .eu.org domain, but I'm not sure I understand the domain creation process. Any of you has one?

I'm unsure what should I write in the "name server" section:

1000008693

My understanding of name servers are where is your domain going to be recorded. For instance, my domain may be something.com but the name server tells the browsers to send the web traffic to 50.50.50.50 where the server lives.

According to this article, https://blog.cpanel.com/how-to-create-your-own-name-servers/, you can do it yourself by manually entering the IP address of the server that your website is hosted on.
