Domain Registration

If you have elected to have Dive In Designs handle your domain registration
Dive In Designs provides domain registration services for a reasonable rate and would be happy to manage your domain registration for you, if you wish. If you want to manage your domain on your own, we urge you to keep your contact information up-to-date and be sure to keep a copy of the username & password in a safe place.

If you have elected to maintain your own domain registration
In order to make sure your new site is active you'll need to update your "DNS Servers" to:

ns.rackspace.com
ns2.rackspace.com

This is generally a simple task and most domain registrars have instructions for carrying out this procedure. BE SURE TO HOLD ON TO YOUR USERNAME & PASSWORD.

Before updating your DNS Servers, please consider the following:

• If you have a live site currently hosted with another provider, are you sure you are ready to switch to your new Dive In Designs site?
• Once you make the DNS switch, your old site and email services with stop functioning. Do you want an archive of your old site? If so, you will want to download a backup copy to your hard drive before making the DNS switch.
• Do you have an email account on the old server? If so, please let us know if your old account has an email-forwarding capability. We will let you know how to update your email settings so there will be no email downtime during the transition. Important: Please be sure that the contact email address you have listed with your Domain Registrar is current. If not, you risk missing the renewal message when your domain expires and potentially losing your domain.
