How to Point Domain Name to Intuit Website
You know how some people registered a domain name at Godaddy, 1and1, Namecheap, Name.com or other domain name registration service and do not know where to go from there? Many people created an account with Intuit after they have registered a domain with another registrar.
“I am trying to point my current domain name www.cheapphotoprints.org to my newly built intuit site at intuit http://cheapphotoprints.intuitwebsites.com.”
That should not be a problem. Just follow the steps below to point your domain to Intuit Websites. If you already have a domain name, you can build a decent looking web page easily by using Intuit. Using Intuit’s award-winning web creation software makes it easy for users to create their own website. If you still do not have a website – Try it for yourself! It is free to try. They have a great support crew that guides users through building their websites.
Step 1 – Contact your current domain registrar
Contact your current domain provider or registrar and request the following updated to your name servers:
NS1.MDNSSERVICE.COM
NS2.MDNSSERVICE.COM
NS3.MDNSSERVICE.COM
Don’t worry if you don’t understand what these terms mean. Your domain provider will. Just give them a call or send them an email and request the changes be made to your name servers.
Most domain providers including Godaddy, Namecheap, Name.com, Netfirms and many more also provide you with an online domain control panel that lets you do the nameserver changes on by yourself. You can try do the changes on your own. It could be faster this way.
Step 2 – Configure domain at Intuit
Configure domain pointing in your online account:
1. Log in to your website account.
2. Click My Domains in the left-hand navigation menu.
3. Click the Point an Existing Domain link. (A new page will appear.)
4. In the Which website would you like this domain to point to? drop-down menu, select the site you want the domain to open.
5. Enter the domain name you are pointing and click Verify.
6. Complete Task 1 and click the I Have Added Nameservers button.
Once you have clicked I Have Added Nameservers, they will automatically complete the pointing process. This typically takes 1-3 business days, depending on the speed of your domain registrar.
If you already have a domain and have not tried Intuit Websites, then it is time to do it. It is free.
