Name Servers
- Manage Name Servers for the domain
- To replace a nameserver, simply edit the existing hostname.
- To remove a nameserver, simply cleanup the existing hostname.
- To add a nameserver, simply fill an empty field for hostname.
- IP addresses are not displayed by certain registries. This does not affect the operation of the nameserver.
Important: Before adding additional name servers to your configuration, you should be sure that the name server has setup correctly. 24 - 48 hours after you submit a request for an additional name server, it will be in the rotation for authoritative lookups and if it is not setup correctly, your site will take a long time to resolve when visitors try to find you.
The order of the nameservers is not relevant
Domain Extras

Domain Locking
- When locking is enabled for a domain, any requests to transfer the domain to another registrar or hosting company will automatically fail. This can be used to prevent fraudulent transfers of the domain, while locking is enabled.
- Should you ever want to transfer the domain, or modify nameservers based on the domain, domain locking must first be disabled, before the relevant action is performed.
- Note that only the owner for a domain can enable/disable locking. The sub-user for the domain, if any, will not be able to perform this action.
