| How Do I Setup a Working Domain? |
In order to set up your
domain you have to do the following:
Log in to your
account and from the Web cPanel menu choose 'Domains'.
Then add your domain name. You can start uploading your
domain website but
it will become visible after the
activation of the domain.
In order to activate the
domain we need you to set the domain name servers
(DNSes)
to ours:
Primary DNS: ns3.dedicatedusa.com
Second DNS: ns4.dedicatedusa.com
Right after the DNSes are changed your
domain name will become active.
The DNS change usually
takes from 24 up to 48 hours.

| I want to host more than one domain in my
account. How to do it? |
First check how many
'Available from package' domains you are allowed to use.
If there are any available you can add your domain. You
can do that in two ways:
- from the cPanel click
the 'Add' button which is at the end of the 'Domains' row;
- from the main menu at the left choose 'Domains'
Then
type your domain in the field and hit the 'Add' button. After
the DNSes have been changed to ours you will be able to use
your domains.

| What is DNS? |
DNS stands for Domain
Name System and is the system that the Internet uses to find
the information on the web. Domain names are registered with a
central organization in each country and each domain name is
associated with two DNS servers, a primary server and a backup
server.
When someone types in a Domain Name into a web
browser their Internet Service Provider's (ISPs) DNS computer
looks into its cache for an IP (Internet Protocol) address
associated with that domain name. If the ISP does not have an
entry cached it sends a lookup query which returns the DNS
location associated with the domain name back to the ISP. Once
the ISP's computer finds the IP address it can access the web
site.

| How to change my domain's DNS records? |
When you register a
domain name, the domain registrar company usually provides you
with an account for managing this domain name. You can use
this account in order to change the DNS records, the Whois
information, etc.
If you do not have such an account,
you must contact your domain registrar company with a request
for a change of the name servers.You registrar must contact
you at the e-mail address that is currently listed on your
DOMAIN REGISTRANT form, for your authorization of the
transfer. When you receive this e-mail from them simply
respond in the affirmative and send it back to them. The
transfer takes about 48 hours. Once your account is set up,
you will receive a confirmation e-mail, which will include
your login information, password, FTP hostname and your access
information for our Members Only services.
|
| Is it necessary to change my domain's DNS
records? |
Yes. As part of the
application process two domain name servers are required to
link to your domain name. When you sign up for service with
our hosting, we file an application on your behalf using our
server information. There is no additional charge for
providing the use of our domain servers.
|
| I have added my domain to your system. Now
what? |
In order to start using
your domain you have to change the DNSes with your registrar.
The change of the DNSes usually takes up to 48 hours.
