Change the name servers

This is the recommended, and simplest way to send your site live at yoursite.com.  The other way is to change the DNS records.
 
If you prefer these changes be made for you, email help@compendiummedia.com.

To send your site live, try the following:
 
  • Login to the company where your domain was purchased
  • Look for a section like "My Domains" or "Manage Domains"
  • Select your domain to manage
  • Look for an option like "Name Servers", "Custom Name Servers", or "Manage DNS"

The existing name server settings may look like:

    NSA.SOMETHING.COM
    NSB.SOMETHING.COM


Remove these settings, even if there are more than two, and enter the following:

If you signed up AFTER 9/25/2016 :

    NSA.COMPENDIUMMEDIA.COM
    NSB.COMPENDIUMMEDIA.COM


If you signed up BEFORE 9/25/2016 and AFTER 8/11/2014:
 
    NS1.ARTANDUTILITY.COM
    NS2.ARTANDUTILITY.COM


If you signed up BEFORE 8/11/2014 and AFTER 7/20/2011:
 
    NS1.LIGHTFORPICTURES.COM
    NS2.LIGHTFORPICTURES.COM


If you signed up BEFORE 7/20/2011 and AFTER 12/1/2008:
 
    NS1.ARTANDUTILITY.COM
    NS2.ARTANDUTILITY.COM


Or if you signed up BEFORE 12/1/2008
 
    NSA.COMPENDIUMMEDIA.COM
    NSB.COMPENDIUMMEDIA.COM


Save the changes. Your site should be live in 24-72 hours (maybe sooner).
 
If you are not sure when you signed-up, go to icompendium.com/accounts > Login > Edit > Your site > Send live.

Email associated with your domain


If you have an email address associated with an existing domain, you can set this up as a forwarding address.  Or if you are using a third-party email hosting service, email help@compendiummedia.com to ensure this continues to function normally before sending your site live.
