Updating DNS With Most Common Registrars

    When you create a website with Webstarts, you can choose to use a domain name that you've purchased elsewhere. To connect your domain name to your Webstarts site, you'll need to update your domain's DNS (Domain Name System) settings to point to Webstarts' servers.

    Instead of maintaining your DNS settings with your domain registrar, we recommend updating your DNS to ns1.webstarts.com and ns2.webstarts.com. This will ensure that your domain is properly configured to work with WebStarts and can minimize the potential for errors or issues that can occur when managing DNS settings across multiple platforms.

    t's important to note that if you have any existing DNS records (such as MX or TXT records) that you need to maintain, you should keep those records and only update your NS records to ns1.webstarts.com and ns2.webstarts.com. If you have any questions or need assistance updating your DNS settings, contact Webstarts support for help.
