CONNECT YOUR DOMAIN

Connect your domain: DNS guides by provider

Two records (an A and a CNAME) at the company that holds your domain. Remo never asks for your password; you add them yourself, following the screens of your provider. Your account shows the same guide with your own domain and the exact values.

  1. 1. Sign in at Network Solutions

    Go to networksolutions.com and click Log In. Register.com customers: same page, and for most of you the username and password are unchanged. We only change two records: never touch the nameservers and never click Revert to Defaults (that disconnects any email or website you keep elsewhere).

  6. 6. Remove Web Forwarding, if you have it

    Back on the domain page, under Advanced Tools look for Web Forwarding. It is a paid add-on, so most accounts have none. If a forward for yourbusiness.com is listed: click its pencil → Delete (upper right) → tick the confirmation box → Delete.

Watch out

I see Classic View instead

Click Classic View → EDIT A RECORDS → change the Numeric IP next to @ (and next to www, if there is one) to the new address above → Continue → Save Changes. For www as an alias: EDIT CNAME RECORDS → www → the CNAME value above → Continue → Save Changes.

The Advanced DNS Records page is missing (only Nameservers, or a notice that the nameservers are not Network Solutions')

Your records live somewhere else. Tell me in the chat which nameservers it shows; do not change them.

I bought the domain at Register.com

Register.com accounts moved to networksolutions.com: same login page and, for most customers, the same username and password.

Which view am I in?

The new view has a pencil on each row and a + Add Record button; Classic View has EDIT A RECORDS buttons. Both work: tell me which one you see.
