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).
