You are not required to register hosts, but if you intend to set up your own Domain Name Server (DNS) service, you can register your own hosts. You can enter up to 13 hosts, depending on the maximum number of hosts the top-level domain (TLD) registry allows.
WARNING: Unless you have a thorough understanding of this process, we recommend that you do not use this feature.
To Register Your Own Hosts
- Log in to your Account Manager.
- In the My Products section, click Domain Manager.
- Click the domain for which you want to create a host.
- In the Host Summary section, click the add hyperlink in the header.
- In the Host name field, enter the host name you want to register.
NOTE: Do not enter "www" as part of your host name.
- In the Host IP fields, enter the IP address(es) you want to add to the host.
- Click OK.
It takes 4 to 8 hours to register hosts for .COM and .NET domains and 24 to 48 hours for all other domain extensions.
