Pointing Your Domain to InCom
Ready to get your website live on the web? This guide will walk you through the steps to point your domain to InCom. We'll show you how to change your nameservers on InCom Domains, but don't worry if your domain is registered elsewhere—the process is quite similar across different registrars.
How Do I Point My Domain to My InCom Website?
These instructions use our sister company InCom Domains as an example. The same general principal applies to most domain registrars! If you registered your domain with a different company, you may see slightly different titles or locations for these settings. We have links at the bottom of this article to some common domain registrar's instructions for updating nameservers.
1. Log in to Your Domain Registrar Account
- Visit your domain name registrar's website (InCom Domains or the site where you purchased your domain name) and log in with your account credentials.
2. Access Your Domain Settings
- Once logged in, click on your profile at the top and navigate to My Products.
- Find you domain under "All Products and Services" and click DNS.
- In your DNS settings, look for a tab called Nameservers. Click on it.
- Click "Change Nameservers" and select "I'll use my own nameservers".
3. Enter InCom Nameservers
You will see two fields to enter new nameservers. Replace the existing nameservers with the following:
- ns1.incomrealestate.net
- ns2.incomrealestate.net
- Click Save.
Depending on your settings, your registrar might need to verify your identity by sending you a one-time password. Once confirmed, you should receive a "Success!" message indicating that the new nameservers have been saved.
It may take up to 24 hours for the changes to propagate across the internet.
How do I change Nameservers if I didn't register with InCom Domains?
Most domain name registrars have the essential tools in common, though the wording may be a bit different. If your settings don't align with our instructions, you can search your domain provider's help center for "change nameservers". Below we have some links to common domain registrar's articles on nameservers.
