how Do I Point my Existing Domain to AwardSpace

Home » Help » Hosting » how Do I Point my Existing Domain to AwardSpace

To point your registered domains to AwardSpace, you should first access the domain registrar admin panel where you registered the domain in the first place.

Here’s what to do once you enter the registrar’s dashboard:

1. Find the domain name settings. Find the domain management/settings section in the registrar’s admin panel. Such settings can be named “Domain Management”, “Domain Manager”, “DNS Settings” and similar.

2. Find the nameserver settings. Somewhere in the domain name settings menu, look for nameserver settings. These settings can be labeled as “Nameservers”, “Nameserver Settings”, “DNS Settings”, “Domain Name Servers”, or anything similar.

3. Find the setting that allows you to change nameservers. Once you find the general nameserver settings, search for an option to change nameservers. A similar option can be named “Change Nameservers” or similar.

4. Add the AwardSpace nameservers. After you locate the setting that allows you to change nameservers, you should add the AwardSpace nameservers. To do so, add these to the appropriate fields:

ns5.awardspace.com
ns6.awardspace.com

5. Save the changes. Now that you have entered the AwardSpace nameservers, make sure to save the changes you have made. This is usually done by clicking a button such as “Save” or “Save Changes”.

6. Wait for changes to take effect. Although changing nameservers takes effect immediately, it is possible to experience some minor delay.

Once you complete these steps and the effect takes place, your registered domains should be pointing to the AwardSpace nameservers, and you will be able to manage them, along with your website via your AwardSpace account.

If you experience any difficulties, don’t hesitate to contact AwardSpace’s tech support team by writing an email to support@awarspace.com
