CHANGE DNS - CNAME

 
ADVANCED USERS ONLY PLEASE

Please follow these instructions carefully to avoid errors or delays.

This form allows you to move your domain name to our nameservers and change the Alias (CNAME) entry in the DNS records file for your domain. This process is sometimes called "Domain Forwarding" and can only forward your domain to another domain or subdomain (for example www.yourdomain.com to www.otherdomain.com).

Please note that this process is not the same as "URL Forwarding" which forwards to a specific web page (for example www.yourdomain.com to http://www.otherdomain.com/directory/page.html).  If you need this service, please visit our sister site ForwardingWeb who will be able to help you. 

If you only want to set up your domain with a new web host, please click here to use our Change Web Host form instead.

IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS

Please be very careful to enter your DNS changes accurately! These changes will be recognized by the Internet within 72 hours. If you make a mistake, your email and web services may become unavailable and it will take up to 72 more hours for any corrections to be recognized.

1. All fields in RED are required fields.
2. Enter the Domain Name(s) in Section 1 below. You can change up to 10 domains at one time. Make sure you include your domain extension. For example: yourname.com
3. Enter the new or changed Alias (subdomain) in Section 2. For example:
   • * points all subdomains at the Real Name specified.
   • www points only www.yourname.com at the Real Name specified.
   • sub points only sub.yourname.com at the Real Name specified.
4. Enter a Real Name for this subdomain in Section 2. Realnames can only be domain names or subdomains such as www.domain.com.  There should be an operational server at this address, otherwise your domain will not work. If you want to delete an entry, simply enter "delete" instead of an Real Name.
5. Enter one of your RegistryWeb Invoice Numbers in Section 3. You will find this number on the invoice(s) you received when you originally registered your domain(s). This number is required to verify your identity. Click here if you have lost your Invoice Number.
6. Finally, when you are certain that all details are correct, click on the "Submit Request" button.
