Domain Name Server
I have recently bought the domain MrLaLa.net (using promo code GB1, naturally) from GoDaddy. But I am a little confused on how to set everything up to work properly. I have the website all designed in Dreamweaver, and I have figured out how to upload everything to the hosting service, but how do I get it so its accessible?
Contact your hosting company to find out what their Domain Name Server (DNS) information is. That info is probably listed in an F.A.Q. You’re looking for something like this:
NS1.DREAMHOST.COM
NS2.DREAMHOST.COM
NS3.DREAMHOST.COM
Note: The following information will be similar with any other domain registrar, but for this question, I’ll give directions specific to Go Daddy.
Log in to GoDaddy.com. Click on “Domains”, then “My Domains”. This will take you to the Domain Control Center. Click on your domain, then on “Nameservers”. Enter the Nameservers your host gave you, one on each line. Then click “OK”.
The process of adding your domain to all the name servers across the Net is called propagation and it can take up to 48 hours.
