  • 0

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

If your domain name is registered through NetFirms.ca, 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 NetFirms.ca home page.

  1. Click Control Panel in the upper right corner. Enter your Username and Password in the boxes, and then click the Login button. You are now logged in to your NetFirms.ca account.
  2. Click on Domains at the top of the page. From the drop-down menu, click on Domain Manager. This will open the Domain Manager page.
  3. Click on the domain name you wish to manage. This opens the page for this domain.
  4. Click on the DNS tab. This will open the Name Servers panel for this domain name. You can see the current DNS settings that need to be changed to FatCat Servers nameservers.
  5. Enter FatCat Servers DNS settings from above.
  6. When you are done, click on the Modify button. The panel will now show that the name servers were successfully updated. The new DNS settings are listed in the Name Server Information boxes.
  7. Scroll back up, and click on the Logout link in the upper right corner.

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.
