Creating Private Nameservers
You must create your private nameservers at your domain
registrar before you are able to use your private nameservers for your
domain. Creating nameservers is a fairly simple task depending on who
your domain registrar is. Listed below are a set of video tutorials on
how to create private nameservers at various registrars. If you don't
find your registrar and confused on how to create your nameservers,
contact support with the URL to your domain registrar.
Changing DNS
Changing
the nameservers for your
domain is a fairly easy
process. Most domain
registrars have a
control panel you can
login to change the
nameservers for your
domain. You must change
the nameservers to point
to our servers and wait
24-72 hours for it to
propogate around the
world. You will find
video tutorials on how
to change your
nameservers at some of
the more popular domain
registrars below. If
your registrar is not
listed, contact support
and we'll help you make
the nameserver change. |
