How do I start using my Domain forwarding service?

Once you have started using the Domain forwarding service, you need to take the following steps to start using it:


A. Change the Name servers of your Domain name to our Name servers.

For your Domain forwarding service to work, it is essential that all queries for your domain name should reach our Domain Forwarding server, which would further redirect it to the destination you have specified.

Thus, it is vital that after you have bought the Service for a particular Domain Name, you need to change the Name Servers for this Domain Name to our Name Servers.

Follow the process outlined below to know what Name servers you need to use:

  1. Login to your Control Panel and search for the Domain name for which you have purchased the Domain Forwarding service.
     
  2. In the Order List View that appears, click on that particular Domain Name.
     
  3. In the details view, click on View Name Server Details.
     
  4. Here, you would find the list of Name servers you need to set for your Domain name.

If the Domain name for which you have purchased this service is registered with Wherrelz IT Solutions, refer to the article on Modifying Name servers to learn how to go about changing your Name servers.
