QUESTION: How do I point my domain to my host company's servers?

ANSWER:

In order for a domain name to work with any hosting account, the domain name's DNS (Domain Name Servers) must be pointed to the hosting account's name servers. Your hosting company will provide the correct DNS addresses (minimum of 2). Frequently, an IP address is also provided for the Name Servers. GoDaddy.com does not require the IP to be entered, only the Name Servers.

Follow these simple instructions in order to modify Name Servers for your Domain Name:

Step 1:
Log into your account.

Step 2:
Click Web Hosting Accounts on your Account Management page.

Step 3:
Select the domain name you wish to modify and click Modify DNS.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Step 4:
Enter the name servers in the fields provided and click Save Changes.

Allow two days for the changes to take effect*

*Changes to the Name Server settings of a domain name take up to 48 hours because of the number of networks involved, and the fact that those networks are controlled by several different agencies. This is called a propagation period and is standard for any Registrar around the world.
