how to update DNS name servers for domains registered with Melbourne IT

This article covers the steps necessary to change the name server records for domain names registered with Melbourne IT. This information should be used when updating your domain name to point to your account at HostBuddy.com. The instructions were gathered from the Melbourne IT web site FAQs.

• Go to http://www.melbourneit.com.au/maintenance/
• Enter the domain name you wish to update
• Enter your Registry Key (You may have to contact your previous host to obtain the registry key. If you try to use the "Resend Registry Key" tool, Melbourne IT may not send it to you, as that information is typically sent only to the domain reseller.)
• Click "Enter Management"
• Click "Delegation Details"
• Replace existing host-names with the following:
  • NS1.SITE4NOW.NET
  • NS2.SITE4NOW.NET
  • NS3.SITE4NOW.NET

Additional Information

Name server updates typically take 12 to 24 hours, though in some cases the propagation of the change can take up to 72 hours. Site users may report problems accessing your site at HostBuddy.com during this time. Until propagation is complete, requests to your domain name may point to your previous host.
