The process for modifying your nameservers depends on the company you bought your domain name from. Check with your domain name registrar for specific instructions.
The default nameservers for your hosting account depend on the day you set up your hosting. Use this list to determine your default nameservers:
- After January 31, 2007
- ns5.secureserver.net
ns6.secureserver.net - November 15, 2006 – January 30, 2007
- ns1.secureserver.net
ns2.secureserver.net - December 15, 2005 – November 14, 2006
- ns3.secureserver.net
ns4.secureserver.net - Before December 14, 2005
ns1.secureserver.net
ns2.secureserver.netOR wsc1.jomax.net
wsc2.jomax.net
If you bought your domain name through us, you can modify your nameservers using your account manager.
To Modify the Nameservers for Your Domain
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- From the Domain Names menu, select Manage Domains. The Domain Control Center opens.
- Use the checkboxes to select the domain name you want to modify.
- Above your list of domain names, click Nameservers.
- Select one of the following:
- Default Hosting Nameservers
- Specifies your domain is hosted with us and you want to use our nameservers.
- Default Parked Nameservers
- Specifies you want to park your domain on our parked servers. We automatically park any of your new domain registrations. The parked page displays when someone opens your domain from a Web browser.
- Custom Nameservers
- Specifies your domain is hosted with another company, and you want to enter the nameservers.
- Click OK.
NOTE: Remember that it usually takes about 4-8 hours for .com and .net domains and about 24-48 hours for all other domain extensions before name servers on other networks are able to access the information after the central registry gets it. This period is referred to as the propagation period.
