Pointing Your Domain Name to a Third-Party Host Company's Servers

For a domain name to work with any hosting account, the domain name's DNS (Domain Name Servers) must be pointed to the hosting account's nameservers. Your hosting company provides the correct DNS addresses (minimum of 2). Frequently, hosting companies also provide an IP address for the nameservers. We do not require an IP, only the nameservers.

To Modify the Nameservers for Your Domain

1. Log in to your Account Manager.
2. In the My Products section, click Domain Manager.
3. Select the domain name(s) you want to modify.
4. Click Nameservers.
5. Select I have specific nameservers for my domains.
6. In the Nameserver 1, 2, and 3 fields, enter the nameservers. You must enter at least two for your hosting account.
7. Click OK.

Allow 4-8 hours for .com and .net domains and about 24-48 hours for all other domain name extensions for the changes to take effect.
