Your domain's Name Server need to be point to our Name Servers if you want to use the DNS Service. There is a button in the control panel which will automatically set this for you.
Our Name Servers are:
- kawanhost.mercury.orderbox-dns.com
- kawanhost.venus.orderbox-dns.com
- kawanhost.earth.orderbox-dns.com
- kawanhost.mars.orderbox-dns.com
Once you have set the name servers, you will need to create A Records to point it to your web hosting.?
For example:
- kawanhost.com -> IP Address give by web hosting company
- www.kawanhost.com -> Same IP address as above.
You can create both 1 and 2 so that both http://kawanhost.com and http://www.kawanhost.com will be valid URLs.
Why use KawanHost name servers?
Changing a name servers takes 72 hours to complete, a process called? 'DNS propagation'. If you use another web hosting's name servers and the web hosting turns out to be unrealiable, then you can't manage your domain until the web hosting service respond to your request. Sometimes, it may take a week or so.
However, if the name server is pointing at KawanHost which is not likely to be down at the same time as the web hosting, then you can setup a temporary web hosting elsewhere and point your domain to it, restoring your website in the same day.
Web hosting and DNS hosting name servers
Other than KawanHost, your may also use the name servers of:
- a web hosting service
- free DNS hosting service like ZoneEdit and EveryDNS
