Question:
How do I know if I put in the NameServers correctly? |
There are two ways you can check. The first method
is by looking at your settings inside
your
Account Manager and the second method is
by looking up your domain name through
our
Whois Lookup Tool.
To check your DNS settings through Account
Manager:
1. Login Account Manager
2. Click on "Domain Accounts" link
3. Click on the domain name you want to manage.
4. Click on "Change DNS Nameservers" Link
5. On that page, if you see the expected NameServers
listed, then everything is correct.
Just wait 24-48 hours for the NameServers to fully propagate.
To check your DNS settings through the Whois:
1. Use the Whois Lookup Tool at:
http://hostsite.com/cgi-bin/whois.cgi
2. Enter in your domain name and the 3 character
code displayed.
3. Look at the bottom of your WHOIS record to see
your NameServers in listed order:
Assuming you are using our hosting or email service
for this example,
It should read in the following format:
Domain servers in listed order:
ns1.hostsites.com
216.93.188.125
ns2.hostsites.com
207.228.236.52
ns3.hostsites.com
69.44.61.142
It really does not matter in which order your
NameServers are inputted or displayed
just as long as all the expected NameServers are
listed. The IP addresses listed
next to the NameServers do not have to show for your
NameServers to work. |
