Business Domain Name Registration - How do I change my DNS settings?

I already have a web site. How do I use my new domain name with that site? or How do I change the DNS settings for the domain name I registered?

If you already have a website that is hosted by another provider and would like to have your new domain name configured so that it direct vistors to that site, please contact your current hosting provider and ask them if they will nameserve your domain name and configure it to "point" to your existing site. You will have to update your NIC record.

When your domain name registration is complete, you will be emailed a "registry key" which is needed in order to make changes such as this. It is included in the email confirmation message with "Registration Complete" in the subject line.

Please have that registry key handy and go to:

http://direct.inww.com/maintenance.shtml
Enter your domain name and your registry key
Click on "Edit Delegation Details"
Replace AZC's nameserver information with your provider's nameserver information there

Then, go back to:

http://direct.inww.com/maintenance.shtml
This time, click on "Edit Contact Details"
There, replace AZC's Technical Contact details with the details of your new provder in the "Technical Contact" section

Please note that, due to internet latency, it can take a few days for the transfer to be propagated (completed) world wide.

Note that many providers of "free" web space do not provide nameserving. If this is the case, you may wish to consider having your site hosted by a provider who will provide nameserver support for your domain name as well as your web site. AZC.COM also has several hosting plans available. You may wish to view them; they are posted at http://www.azc.com/htmls/service.html.
