How do I change my name servers?

Wednesday, May 23rd, 2007

If your domain name is registered through Pipe Ten’s domain registration system you first need to log into your account at domains.pipeten.com. Click to view your domain names, then click the “M” icon next to the domain you would like to update, then click the link titled “Change Nameservers” and you can update the name servers on your domain. If your domain name wasn’t registered through Pipe Ten you need to contact your domain registrar and ask them to do this. Most registrars provide you with a control panel to allow you to do this yourself.

Will my name and contact information be publicly available?

Yes. Information about who is responsible for domain names is publicly available to allow rapid resolution of technical problems and to permit enforcement of consumer protection, trademark, and other laws. The registrar will make this information available to the public on a “Whois” site.
