Default Domains

I read that you need to have access to your DNS servers to change them for new hosting if you aren't using hosting with your domain registar. I have GoDaddy and Aplus for my domains, I don't know what is DNS and how do I find out to switch them when the time comes? I had a friend who dedicated her free time to helping me, but she has little time to do these things now. Is it a hard task?

I also need to know this information as it will help me once I know what I am doing. I have not yet bought domains for some site. Can I buy them with BodHost?

I do not know about others but I read today that on Godaddy you just go to your account and it will walk you through the process. It seems very simple.

DNS (Domain Name System) is a database system that translates an IP address into a domain name. You can change the nameservers for your domain. You will have to contact the domain registrar and ask them to change the nameservers to what you need. Once they are changed you can ask your hosting provider to point them to their server. It is not at all a hard or difficult task

No doubt, you can surely buy or register a domain name with BodHost. You can simply click the below link and enter domain name you wish to register, in the text field. If it is available for you to order, you can easily buy it. The link is:-

Hope that helps

Most times you can contact the place you are hosting with to find out exactly how they do things. I know with Dream Host it is almost a pain to get anyone to contact you back, so you should be okay for the two you have now.

I tried another hosting place some time ago and the service wasn't that bad. I couldn't afford it after a while so I cancelled. Does anyone has experience with what the customer service is like here. I get a good impression just from being on the boards seeing helpful comments from the mods and administrator.

Binary, I can tell you from my stay in this forum thus far, the service is amazing. The admin/mods are here to help and answer every question I've ever saw posted.

It is not a hard task at all provided that we know where to go. First, you want to obtain nameservers for your domains on your web hosting server (find them on the Cpanel). After getting the nameservers, you would go to domain manager (in Go Daddy) and update the nameservers for your domain there.
