Updating Your DNS at dotster.com Print

The purpose of this tutorial is to teach you how to repoint your DNS (Domain Name Servers) settings fromt dotster.com to FatCat Servers

If your domain name is registered through dotster.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 dotster.com home page.

1. Enter your Username or domain name and Password, and then click the Login button. You are now logged in to your dotster.com account.
2. Click on the My Domains link at the top of the page. This will open the Account Management Control Panel page.
3. Click on the domain name you wish to manage. This opens the page for this domain. You can see the current DNS settings, and these are the ones that need to be changed to FatCat Servers.
4. Click on the link called Update Name Servers. This will open the Name Server Update page.
5. Enter the first (Primary) DNS settings in the box, and click ADD. Continue until you have added all three FatCat Servers name servers. When you have entered all three name servers, enter your email address in the box marked Confirmation Email Address.
6. Click on Continue. This will take you to a screen that will show the results, and confirm that the changes were updated successfully.
7. Click on the Back to Domain Information link to be sure of the changes.

You have sucessfully updated your DNS settings, and your domain is now pointing to your new hosting account on 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.
