How to change DNS (Domain Name Servers)
From HostBaby Wiki
Pointing your DNS to Hostbaby:
("Huh? DNS?") We know this can be a confusing process, so if you'd like us to do it for you, we can! We'd just need the web-address of the place you registered your domain name, then the username and password to get in. We can do the rest. You could also call us at 1-888-448-6369 and we'll be glad to walk you through the process.
If you want to do it yourself, here are the instructions. Changing your DNS just means that you need to log in to wherever you registered your domain name, and look for some kind of a link to "EDIT" or "MAKE CHANGES" to your domain -- and then look for a link to change your "DNS" or "NAMESERVERS".
You'll know you've found it when you see something like "NS1.BLAHBLAH.COM" and "NS2.BLAHBLAH.COM"
Erase what's there and point it to ours:
NS1.HOSTBABY.COM
NS2.HOSTBABY.COM
At this point it might give you warnings that what you're doing is very dangerous, but just click OK - you're doing this on purpose.
If you have ANY trouble with this, just email back and let us know. We do it all day long here, and we'd be glad to help, if you want. We'd just need the web-address of the place you registered your domain name, then the username and password to get in. We can do the rest.
Let me know, either way, OK? An IMPORTANT note about your domain name: keep in mind that pointing the nameservers does NOT automatically transfer your domain to Hostbaby. So your domain will stay with your current registrar. If you want to actually transfer your domain to Hostbaby, so that WE do the renewals for you, we can do that, just let us know. Just keep in mind that if you do NOT transfer the domain registration to Hostbaby, then you WILL have to renew your domain yearly with your current registrar. :)
Moving Your DNS away
While we know that there is no other webhost as cool, thoughtful or friendly as HostBaby, we understand that sometimes you've got to venture out into the world wide web and try something new. Luckily HostBaby is here to help you during this difficult time of change.
To change your DNS to point to a new webhost, simply email us (from your email address that we have on account) and let us know where to point your domain. Your new web host will be happy to provide you with their DNS information. If they are not happy about it, you should probably stay with us.
