How do I create a new host?
Hosts must be associated with a domain name, and can be created while registering a new domain name of type Registration. Hosts can also be created while managing an existing domain name(s).
If you wish to assign this new host to a single domain name, you must first lookup that domain name by selecting the Manage Services tab and clicking on View/Update Domains. For instructions on how to do so, please refer to the How do I lookup a domain name? Help page.
After you have looked up a domain name, you will be presented with a page displaying the registration and contact information for this domain name. Click the Manage Name Servers button to continue.
Select the New Host radio button for one of the Name Servers available (Primary, Secondary, or Additional Hosts).
Enter the Host Name and IP Address for the new host you are creating and click the Go! button.
Review the information you entered on the "Confirm" page. If everything is correct, click the Submit button to complete this host creation.
If you wish to assign this new host to multiple domain names, you must first lookup the domain names by selecting the Manage Services tab and clicking on View/Update Domains. For instructions on how to do so, please refer to the How do I update domain names in bulk? Help page. Please Note: All selected domain names must belong to the same customer.
After you have looked up the domain names, you will be presented with a results page displaying the domain names. Select Host from the Data Type drop down under "Edit Selected Items" at the bottom of the page. Click the Go! button to continue.
Select the New Host radio button for one of the Name Servers available (Primary, Secondary, or Additional Hosts).
Enter the Host Name and IP Address for the new host you are creating and click the Go! button.
Review the information you entered on the "Confirm" page. If everything is correct, click the Submit button to complete this host creation.
Please Note: You will not be able to perform this function for domain names that are expired and in a deactivated status.
