How do I setup DNS for my domain?

There are three options available for DNS.

1. Resolve the DNS using dynamic services on your server. All you need to do is change the A record IP address to point to the IP address where you have setup the domain name. In this case, you can handle this all on your own without needing to contact us.

2. Setup your own nameservers. You can do this through your registrar. This is a bit more complicated and not recommended unless you thoroughly understand DNS.

3. Use our existing nameservers. Add the domain and setup web site for domain in question. Simply go to your registrars control panel and enter in ns1.nameservers.com and ns2.nameservers.com for the domains nameservers. Once this has been completed open a ticket with the domain you wish to enter in to our nameservers. We will also need the IP address to point the domain to.

Highly recommend number 1. It's the easiest of the three and also provides you a point outside of the network to resolve domains. If your registrar is GoDaddy for example, they make it very easy to accomplish number 1 in the list above.
