Posted on September 16th, 2008 by admin in Domain News, Domaining 101 | No Comments »

When you want to change your website’s webhost, you must change your domain’s DNS ( domain name system nameservers ). DNS information is specified by your hosting provider.

By default, your domain’s DNS point to your registrar’s parked page. If you are not using a domain, and you decide to not change the default DNS, your registrar is actually earning money from your domain’s visitors’ clicks.

The DNS acts as the background of a domain name, helping domains resolve to IP addresses. For example, dnxpert.com has the DNSs ns1.dnxpert.com and ns2.dnxpert.com.

The following steps generally outline the process of changing your domain’s DNS:

1.Log into your registrar account
2.Access your domain’s administration interface.
3.Access the Change Name Server feature.
4.Enter new DNS information and save.

It is also important to note that some registrars might not provide an obvious way to enter both DNS name and DNS IP address for your domains. Check your registrar FAQ on how to use advanced DNS changing features, or contact your registrar directly.
