3rd-party Domain Registrars
You do not have to use South Florida Web hosting as your domain
name registrar, but if you do not then you will have to change
your domain record at your registrar to direct visitors to your
Web site. There are two ways to do this: |
| Option 1 - Change which
Domain Name Servers provide the domain information |
| While your registrar can
remain unchanged, the best option is to simply change where the
registrar sends lookup requests for the name. In order to do this,
first verify in our control
panel which two name servers are providing service for your
domain. These are listed on the domain info page, found
under the Domain Settings option on the menu bar. Our name
servers are guaranteed to provide service for the domains that we
host regardless of whether you choose to use them or not. Using
your registrar's control panel, change the domain registration to
refer to those two name servers. Clients looking up your domain
name will be referred to our DNS servers, and will automatically
be sent to the correct Web servers. |
| Option 2 - Change the 3rd-parth
Domain Name Servers |
| If you do not want to
change the domain registration, then you will need to change where
the currently assigned Domain Name Servers (DNS) send visitors.
From our control
panel you can locate the IP address of your Web site. It is
listed on the domain info page, found under the Domain
Settings option on the menu bar. If your registrar's control
panel has an interface to change the DNS server records, then you
will be able to change those entries to to send visitors to your
Web site IP address. |
