In order to host a website on your domain name, you will need to obtain the Name Servers from the Web Hosting Company with whom you wish to host your website and point your domain name to these Name Servers.
Follow the steps below to associate Name Servers with your domain name -
- Contact your Web Hosting Company and find out from them the Name Servers you need to use.
- Login to your Control Panel, search for the domain name for which you want to add/modify Name Servers and proceed to the Order Details view. Click here to read how >>
- Click on the Modify Name Server button. Feed in the Name Servers you want (up to 13 Name Servers) and click Submit.
If at this step you get an error stating Name Server is not yet registered, then this implies that the Name Server(s) you are submitting has/have not been registered with the Registry. Please contact your Web Hosting Company and ask them to provide Name Servers that are valid and registered with the Registry.
