Log In to your account.
From the menu at the left select domain names and then register DNS.
Use the tool in the first section of the page "Register a name server Name" to create your name server. The domain must be in your account.
Each name server must begin with ns or dns
Example: ns1.yourdomain.com  dns2.yourdomain.net

Log In to your account.
From the menu at the left, select "domain names".
Click "Register DNS".
Use the "Update a name server IP" tool on the following page to update your information.

You can come back to this same page to check the status of your IP changes at any time.  It can take the Registry up to 48 hours for your updates to take affect.  We do not have a way to make this happen any quicker VeriSign updates the zone files at 5:00am and 5:00pm EST daily.

NOTE: If your web host has informed you that they have changed the IP address of their name servers, then there is nothing you need to do .  The web host will be responsible for making this change with their own Registrar.

Log into http://my.nameway.com

Click on "Domain Names".
Click on "My Domains".
Click on the Domain you want the subdomain associated with.
Click on the button 'configure' under DNS Setting (zone file) section.
Under Hostname field, enter subdomain name (ex. mail).
Select the Record Type (A, URL Forwarding, URL FRAME, C.)
Fill in the address field (IP address or fully qualified URL).
Click 'save changes'.

The system will allow you 15 host records to begin with.  After you fill up the blanks on the DNS hosting panel and save your changes, additional blanks will appear.  We can provide you up to 100 host records total per domain.  This includes forwarding records, mx records, etc. 

If you want to use Nameway® name servers, you can change that once the domain is in your account.  Then you will have full use of our DNS control panel.

To change name servers:

Click on "domain names", "my domains".
Click on the domain name link you wish to update.
Under DNS server click change.
Use Nameway® name servers and save your changes.

It can take up to 48 hours for the DNS to propagate with the registry, but your site will not go down while waiting for this update.

If you wish to create .ca name servers, Nameway® must perform this task for you. 

Please use the Support Center, REQUEST HELP.  Include your login name, the domain, DNS names and the associated IP's.  We'll submit to the registry and advise you when complete.

*DNS must be set to our servers in order to do the following

To create : mail.mydomain.com

Log into http://my.nameway.com

Click on "Domain Names".
Click on "My Domains".
Click on the Domain you want the subdomain associated with.
Click on the button 'configure' under DNS Setting (zone file) section.
Under Hostname field, enter subdomain name (ex. mail).
Select the Record Type (A, URL Forwarding, URL FRAME, C).
Fill in the address field (IP address or fully qualified URL).
Click 'save changes'.

The system will allow you 15 host records to begin with.  After you fill up the blanks on the DNS hosting panel and save your changes, additional blanks will appear. 

We can provide you up to 100 host records total per domain.  This includes forwarding records, mx records, etc. 

It does not matter which order they are listed, because when the name servers are queried, they are queried simultaneously, and the first one to answer is assigned by the Registry to that particular query as "primary" at that point in time.  

What this means is that regardless of how they are listed, the order of the listing does not determine which name server is queried first.   The order that the name servers appear in the Registry is not up to the Registrar, and cannot be changed by the Registrar.

Example:

You want name.com to point to othername.com, and you want to use a file located on othername.com so, you would basically substitute name.com for tohername.com when calling the file. meaning, www.name.com/somefile.asp?variable=foo would really point to www.othername.com/somefile.asp?variable=foo

If you are using redirect, then www.othername.com/somefile.asp?variable=foo would appear in the browser address bar.If you are using framing, then www.name.com/somefile.asp?variable=foo would appear in the browser address bar.

Log into your account, and click on "domain names" then "global edit".

If you try to remove the lock or change DNS, you will get an error.
After a domain transfers away from Nameway®, we do not purge the domain immediately for security reasons; therefore, it will still appear in your account for a few days (with the old settings).  You might try to remove the lock, for example, but it won't let you because the domain has already transferred away. 

Check with the registry to verify current registrar, for example for .com domains you can search the WHOIS at:  www.verisign-grs.com

L og into your account and click on "my account".
Click on "global edit".

Select "Click here" to view the status and history of your previous global edits.
This screen will let you now if your request is still processing or has completed.  You will also receive an email when the edit is complete, advising you of any errors that may have occurred during the edit update.

If you are turning off the auto-renew for domains, and the edit has not completed, domains may still renew if their date is less than 30 days prior to expiration.  You may want to turn off the auto-renew specifically for that domain to avoid unintentional renewals.

You do not need to manually enter our DNS names or replace them on the configure page.  You must change the actual setting:

Log into your account and click "domain names".
Click "my domains".
Click on the domain name link you wish to work with (this takes you to the domain control panel).
Click on "CHANGE".
Click on the option to "use our name servers".
Save Changes.

You will now return to the control panel, and have the options to forward your domain, use our email services, create the website builder or any of the other features provided on our control panel.  It can take up to an hour to go live.
