How can I change my DNS
information?
When you register your domain,
default DNS (Domain Nameservers) settings are used. Your web
hosting provider can give you their primary and secondary DNS
information and you can change the default settings to those of
your web host. The DNS information usually looks something like
this:
Primary Hostname- ns1.examplehostname.com
Primary IP- 123.45.67.8
Secondary Hostname- ns2.examplehostname.com
Secondary IP- 123.45.67.9
To change DNS information
- Click Manage, and log in to
your account.
- Beside the domain whose DNS
you want to change, click DNS.
- Replace the existing
information with the information provided by your web
hosting company (you may omit the IP addresses, as they are
optional).
- Click Save. Your new DNS
information is automatically entered, if it is verified to
be valid.
Please allow 24 - 48 hours for
your change to propagate throughout the Internet.
.DK Nameservers
For .DK domains, you can only
specify nameservers that are known at the registry. To use any
other nameservers, you must first submit the application form
found here:
http://www.dk-hostmaster.dk/index.php?id=200. When your
application has been processed and your nameservers have been
approved, you will receive a notification by email.
Note: The registry charges a fee
to register nameservers.
How do I set up

Domain forwarding is a service
that is available with your domain registration. It allows you
to redirect visitors to another website (that you own) when they
type your domain name in the browser address field.
To set up domain forwarding

your account.

want to redirect, click Domain Forwarding.

or you can specify the IP address, for example,
http://12.34.56.789.
- Click Enabled to implement
domain forwarding.
- If you do not want your
website address to appear in the browser address field,
select Masked from the drop-down list. When visitors type
your domain name in the browser address field, they are sent
to your website, but they still see your domain name in the
address field. If you do want the website address (the
destination) to be displayed in the address field, ensure
that Masked is not selected.
- Optionally, in the Title
field, enter the text that you want to appear in the browser
title bar.

website.
