DNS name and IP address

Hi

I will be signing up soon with surpass hosting, but first I have to register my domain which will be a .pe (Peru). In the registration form (http://nic.pe/formulario-solic.htm) they ask for the host name and IP address for the domain name which I guess must be surpass hosting's DNS server address. What IP and host name should I enter here? I don't have any other address to provide.

Thanks in advance.

Percy

Buy your hosting account first so you'll have the info you need to enter.

seems like I'm in a loop!

My registrar asks for my DNS server and my hosting provider to be asks for my domain name, how is this supposed to happen??

Is there any problem if I provide a "generic" DNS server IP and name and then adjust it when I buy the surpass hosting plan? Please help.

thanks!

Percy

You can sign up for a hosting account even if the domain isn't active yet. Just make sure you KNOW that your domain name hasn't been taken.

This is what I recommend:
- Buy hosting account
- Wait for email that contains server IP address and name servers
- Buy domain name
- Fill in the information you got in the email.
