Once you have started the process of making your Rainmaker website live, the final step is to point your domain registrar’s name servers to your Rainmaker website.
Editing the name servers at your registrar
Each domain registrar’s process for changing name servers will vary, but the general steps are:
- Log in to your domain registrar’s account portal.
- Navigate to the listing of your domains.
- Select DNS or name server management for the domain you are updating.
- Confirm that you are editing the name servers (there are usually two listed).
- Update to Rainmaker’s name servers:
ns-183.awsdns-22.com
ns-1550.awsdns-01.co.uk
ns-1346.awsdns-40.org
ns-910.awsdns-49.net
Note: If you had a site with continuing issues and already updated to Amazon AWS nameservers you do not need to do so again.
