"Webhost4life
is one of the best web hosts I have been with. With a small
amount of money you get so many features and privileges that
you would need to spend five times as much or more in order
to get the same services somewhere else. The support is the
BEST I have ever come across."

Purchasing and Registering
|
There are
three steps that are necessary for obtaining a domain:
1.
Find a domain name
registrar (such as www.godaddy.com)
2.
Make sure the domain name you want
is available (registrars let you check)
3.
Register and lease your desired domain name(s)
|
Mapping to our Name Servers
|
Once you lease a domain name you must
reconfigure its Name Server properties (DNS) to point to our servers.
1.
Logon into the website account where you purchased your domain name
2. Change
the DNS settings to:
|
Primary
DNS:
|
ns4.dnsserver8.com
|
(66.186.25.6)
|
|
Secondary
DNS:
|
ns5.dnsserver8.com
|
(66.102.135.218)
|
This will forward your domain name to our
servers. Please make note of the following:
-
Domain
propagation takes 42 to 72 hours to fully complete
-
Your domain
will not work in our servers until the process is completed
-
E-mail
accounts cannot be setup until propagation is completed
-
Propagation
is regional: some cities may see the changes faster while others may
not see changes till later on
