Article: Pointing Your Domain Name to Your Surpass Hosting!

**Roxy** · February 6th, 2008, 5:32 PM

Once you have received your Welcome Email containing your given nameservers, log into your user panel where your domain names were purchased from. Here you will locate where you are able to edit “custom nameservers”, once you have found the link and clicked on it, you will notice a set of default nameservers already there for you. Yes, you can delete them, as you will have to replace them with the nameservers given to you by your host. Usually some domain hosting panels have a drop down menu where you will need to first choose “custom nameservers” rather then “default nameservers”, if you see this, then be sure to click on the custom link, then fill in the empty fields with your new nameservers. That’s all! Not all sites are the same so it can take up to 4-24 hours for a domain name to propagate, so have patients while waiting for your domain names to point to your website. Good luck!

Is there much consideration of Surpass to move to a centralized nameserver? It would make things super straight-forward and simple if it was just a matter of typing in "ns1.surpasshosting.com" instead of "ns{randomnumber}.surpasshosting". Just thinking... if the whole Beeginners thing is Surpass's attempt at making things easier, this would be a good one.

Something like that would have nothing to do with the website Beeginners. Since Beeginners is to help those who are either new to the web hosting world, or need answers to questions that have yet to be answered.

OH OOPS! I totally thought you could make network changes just by posting something on Beeginners. LOL!

Wait, you really thought that? Or is this sarcasm? 0_o Didn't you know that Beeginners is simply a tutorial/article website?

In short, I was totally sarcastic. But more seriously, I was just suggesting it as something to compliment Beeginners approach towards making things easier.
