How do I set my nameservers for my domain name?

To change the NameServer settings on your domain name, you must log in to the site of your Domain Name Registrar. If your domain name is registered through DomainsNed, you can use these specific instructions below; otherwise, if you are with GoDaddy, Register.com or elsewhere, you can use this as a general guide or contact your registrar for specific instructions.

LOGGING IN AT DOMAINSNED.COM AND CHANGING NAMESERVER SETTINGS
___________________________________________________

  • Go to http://www.domainsned.com (or wherever you have your domain registered) and Sign In. (Typically there is a link on the upper-right of the screen labeled "Sign In" or "My Account")
  • Go to My Products and find the domain name you want to manage. Alternatively you can click Manage All and click on the domain name there.
  • Select Domains and in the row of your domain on the right side click the Launch button.
  • You are now on the Domain Details page. Choose the DNS section and click the button Nameservers then click Change Nameservers
    (Note: You may need to unlock the domain first)
  • Once there, ensure that the option "I'll use my own nameservers" is selected and now REPLACE the current nameservers with the new ones (provided in your Welcome Email*). Be sure to click SAVE when done.  (Don't forget to re-lock the domain name if applicable).

* Most HostNed services use the nameservers YIN.SSL1.US and YANG.SSL1.US
** Nameserver changes usually happen within 1 - 2 hours, but can take up to 48 hours to become fully effective.
