CHANGE NAME SERVERS
How to change the DNS for
your domain to point to your hosting company's servers Free.
DNS TRANSFER IS NOT A
REGISTRAR TRANSFER. IT'S TO
modify the name server
setting associated with that domain name.
Your hosting provider should have given you the primary and secondary
DNS information. This information will usually take this form:
Primary Hostname- ns1.examplehostname.com
Primary IP- 123.45.67.8
Secondary Hostname- ns2.examplehostname.com
Secondary IP- 123.45.67.9
You can log on to our website at www.NextRegister.com, and click on "Domain
Manager". Log in by
entering the username and password you chose at the time of
registration. If you have forgotten the username and password you chose,
you may enter the email address you entered at the time of registration
to have your username and password emailed to you. After you log in,
you will see links to the actions you can perform. Click the "Change DNS
Info" link. You will be able to see the current name server info listed.
Select the domain(s) whose hosting you wish to alter, and click the
"Continue" button. On the next screen, you will be able to enter the
hosting information your host has given to you. Replace the current
servers with the new server info (you may omit the IP addresses, as they
are optional), and click the "Continue" button. Your new DNS information
will be automatically entered, if it is verified to be valid. It will
take a couple of days (24 - 48 hours) for your change to propagate
Internet-wide.
RECOMMENDATION: after you finish changing your DNS use domain lock to
secure your domain at the registry it's an extra layer of security. Also
consider changing your password every time you give it out.
WARNING
We became aware that
some hosting companies are requesting that our customers transfer their
domain name to them. Due to the lack of understanding about the term
"transfer", they make it appear that in order to use their hosting
service, you must transfer your domain name to them not the DNS only.
This can be a costly mistake to you now and in the future, due to the
exorbitant cost you will be charged for domain yearly renewal, and your
future business. By having your domain name with a company that only
registers domain names, you will have the flexibility to change hosting
companies anytime you wish without losing your domain name or your
hosting service. In order to set up hosting for a website, you only
need to modify the name server setting associated with that domain
name. You can do that in minutes at
www.NextRegister.com without having to
transfer your domain name and with no extra charge. Please follow the
instructions below to modify your DNS (domain name servers).
