When you transfer your domain name to 1st Domains, your DNS servers are left delegated to your last host. This is so that any existing services you might have are not interrupted by the transfer. If you wish to use our services you will need to park your domain name with 1st Domains.
NOTE: Parking your domain name will update the Name Servers to ours, it will NOT transfer the current DNS zone records for your domain name to 1st Domains Name Servers and may affect services you had set-up with your previous host. Please copy the existing DNS records of the services you want to continue from your previous host to our Name Servers.
Parking your domain name
- Login to the Account Manager and select 'Manage Domains & Services'
- Select the domain name you wish to manage from the list
- Click on 'Park Domain Name'
- Turn the parking status slider to 'On' and approve the confirmation message.
- You can now return to the domain manager, and configure your services under the links, 'Manage Email Forwarders' and 'Configure URL Redirection' and 'Manage DNS Zone Records'.
