How to park a domain name with 1st Domains?

If you wish to use our services, such as email forwarding, URL redirection, or web hosting, with your domain name, you will need to park your domain with 1st Domains.

NOTE: Parking your domain will change the name servers to 1st Domains and may affect any services you had set up with your previous host. If you're unsure, reach out to your previous host; you might be able to simply copy the records over to the 1st Domains name servers. 

When changing name servers, it can take time for the changes to propagate across the internet. Allow up to 24 hours for full propagation to complete.

However, if you have copied your DNS records to the newly parked name servers, there should be no disruption to your services during the update process. But firstly check with your previous name server provider that services hosted by them will continue when name servers are transferred away.
