The purpose of this tutorial is to teach you how to repoint your DNS (Domain Name Servers) settings fromt 1and1.com to FatCat Servers
If your domain name is registered through 1and1.com,
you will need to go to their site, and point your domain name to FatCat Servers DNS Servers
Name Server 1: NS1.FATCATSERVERS.com
Name Server 2: NS2.FATCATSERVERS.com
Name Server 3: NS3.FATCATSERVERS.com
There are two or more nameserver (NS) settings that must each be changed. Let's begin by going to the 1and1.com home page.
- Click on the Customer Login link at the top of the page.
- Enter your Username and Password in the boxes, and then click the Login button. You are now logged in to your 1and1.com account.
- Click on the Manage Domains link on the left hand side. This will open the Domain Overview page.
- Click on the DNS link. Select the domain you wish to manage from the pull-down list, and click on the Next button. This opens the DNS Settings page for this domain. Go down the page to Name Server Settings, and click on Edit.
- Now go to the box called Basic DNS Settings, and select My Name Server. This will open the Advanced DNS Settings box, and you can now enter the new DNS settings in the boxes.
- Click on the OK button at the bottom of the page. This will take you to a screen that will confirm that the process is completed.
To be sure the change was successful, click the Go To Overview button. Then click DNS. Then click Next. You can now see the new settings are listed.
Scroll back up to the top of the page, and click on the Logout button in the right hand corner. The settings have been successfully updated, and your domain is now pointing to your new hosting account at FatCat Servers.
NOTE: Please remember while propagation usually takes place in a couple of hours, it can take as long as 48 hours for your domain name to fully propagate after you make these changes.
