Provide nameservers for users to point to

Hey there! I hope that you are doing well. I developing a platform that allows users to build their websites using drag and drop only. At the end of building the website the platform should provide two nameservers and request the user to point their domain name to these nameservers in order to make the website live. Please can you help me how to achieve this feature or give me some keywords that help me to search? Thank you all.

If you want to offer your own nameservers, you'll need to set up your own DNS infrastructure. This requires technical expertise and ongoing maintenance, so consider the pros and cons before diving in. Integrate with a DNS management service like Cloudflare, Amazon Route 53, or Google Domains to automatically create and manage DNS records for your users' domains. This will provide reliable nameservers and simplify the process for users.

Easier to just get them to point their domain name to the IP of your server. Changing the DNS to you would mean that you have to allow them to control ALL DNS entries such as email, txt records for other services etc etc. You don't want to get involved with this.
