When you register a domain name with SmartyHost, your domain name is pointed to SmartyHost name servers by default. If you want to point your domain name to external name servers (such as your developer's name servers), you'll need to manually change the name servers in your Toolkit.
Changing name servers in your Toolkit
   |
1. Log in to your Toolkit as a Package Manager. Alternatively, you can log in as an Account Manager, and then select the domain name from the Account Overview page. |
  |
2. Select Domain tools on the My Services menu, and then click Update button in the Delegated Name server section. |
  |
3. Enter the new primary name server address in the New Nameserver field, and then click Add. Repeat this step to add the secondary name server. |
  |
4. Clear the checkboxes in front of the SmartyHost name servers, and then click Save. |
| You've now successfully changed your domain name's name servers in your Toolkit. | |
FAQ
1. Does the change take effect immediately?
Once you've saved the change, it'll take 24-48 hours for the change to propagate around the Internet.
2. Where do I add the new name servers' IP addresses?
You don't need to add the IP addresses for the new name servers. Our system will match the new name servers with their public IP addresses automatically.
