Domain Name Configuration
Configuring your Domain Name services
Register your Domain Name with an Internet Name Registrar. Log into your Domain Name management console and locate the domain name settings for NS1 and NS2 (some Registrar services use up to NS3 and NS4). Input the IP address from your
Domain Name Management Console
NS1.xxx.xxx.xxx: | ( Input IP settings from WAN 1 ) |
NS2.xxx.xxx.xxx: | ( Input IP settings from WAN 2 ) |
It will take up to two or more days for your domain name records to propagate to all the servers on the Internet.
Note: Please consult your Internet Name Registrar for any specific information regarding your domain name management.
