• OpenSRS

  Log in to your OpenSRS account.

  In the Manage Name Servers section, and at the bottom of the page, you will see a link: "If you want to create or modify a name server which is based on {your domain} click here."

  Here you can register a name server based on the domain. All name servers must have an unique IP and must be set-up and running for at least 24 hours before you register them here. Type the prefix for your name server and its IP address and click Create Name Server. We suggest that you do not use the prefix "www" as this may cause a problem with your web server lookups. Use the nameservers exactly as issued to you by Webhosting.net, Inc

  The most common error when setting up a newnameserver is: "Unable to create nameserver: Registry error, nameserver creation failed [Attribute value not unique]" This means that the IP address you entered is already taken. You may either find another IP or delete the existing nameserver host record.

  Your nameservers servers will be in the format of (with a corresponding IP address for each nameserver):

  • NS1.YOUR-NAME.COM
  • NS2.YOUR-NAME.COM

  To register your nameservers log on to your account with network solutions and complete the 'Host registration form', following the instructions. We have also included some helpful instructions below:

  How to fill out the Network Solutions form

  Here is a quick guide to registering your nameservers. You need to fill the form twice (once per nameserver)

  General Information
  Enter your e-mail address
  Select the "NEW" option

  Host Information
  Host NIC Handle:
  (leave blank, since you don't have one yet)
  Host Name:
  Enter the nameserver you are registering (in the format of NS1.YOURNAME.COM)
  IP Address:
  Enter the IP address we assigned to you for that nameserver

  Contact Information
  Enter your NIC handle. If you don't know your NIC handle, you can get this by doing a WHOIS lookup of your main domain name.
  Or, you can create a new contact record by leaving the 'NIC Handle' field blank and filling out the rest of the form.

  Host Form Authorization Information
  Select your preferred Authentication Method, and then press the "Generate Host Form" at the bottom of the page.
  You will then be presented with a completed Host Template. Press the button at the bottom of the page, "Mail this Host Form to me" and a copy will be e-mailed to you.
  YOU MUST now check your e-mail, and send the form back to Network Solutions for processing (just reply to their e-mail to send them back the template)
  Do not forget to send them back the form! Otherwise they will not process your registration.
  Now do the same for your secondary DNS server.
  Once your DNS servers have been registered, you can use them when you register new Domain Names, and you can modify your existing Domain Name records and change the DNS servers to your own.

  ONCE LOGGED INTO YOUR ACCOUNT:

  • 1. Click on the domain that you wish to use for your name servers
  • 2. Locate 'Domain Host Information' at the bottom.
  • 3. Use the link named 'click here to add'
  • 4. Enter the first name server with its IP
  • 5. Click 'Register Name Server'
  • 6. Enter the second name server with its IP
  • 7. Click 'Register Name Server'
  • 8. Allow two days for the name servers to be registered

  The reason for the delay is complex, but has to do with the fact that there are several networks that whose records must be updated in order for your name servers to be recognized. As they are administered by different agencies this takes time. Within 48 hours, you should be able to use your new name servers.
