Once you
have started using the Domain forwarding service, you need to take the following
steps to start using it:
A. Change the Name servers of your Domain name to our Name servers.
For your Domain
forwarding service to work, it is essential that all queries for your domain
name should reach our Domain Forwarding server, which would further redirect it
to the destination you have specified.
Thus, it is vital
that after you have bought the Service for a particular Domain Name, you need to
change the Name Servers for this Domain Name to our Name Servers.
Follow the
process outlined below to know what Name servers you need to use:
-
Login to your
Control Panel and search for the Domain name for which you have purchased the
Domain Forwarding service.
- In the Order
List View that appears, click on that particular Domain Name.
- In the details
view, click on View Name Server Details.
- Here, you
would find the list of Name servers you need to set for your Domain name.
If the Domain
name for which you have purchased this service is registered with Dragondata, refer to the
article on Modifying Name servers to learn how to go about changing your Name
servers.
OR
Create
an A record for your Domain name pointing to the IP address of the Domain
forwarding server
B. Add a
destination URL for your Domain name.

within 24-72 hours of Name server modification.

addition to this, you might also want to make some additional settings for your
domain name, such as
Enabling Sub-domain forwarding
