Step 3: Change Your DNS
It is very important that you do not skip this step. You will not be able to use any of our email services, unless your DNS servers are correct. Even if you have a good general knowledge of the DNS system, we highly suggest reading our DNS tutorial as you may learn something you did not know.
If we registered a NEW domain name for you when you signed up with Web Hosting Zero, we have already setup your DNS correctly. You can proceed to Step 4.
If you already own a domain name, or are moving from another web host, you will have to change your DNS so your domain name will point to our servers. Please visit our DNS tutorial on how to change your DNS.
When will my domain begin working? New domains begin working 24-72 hours after initial registration.
