    Hey there, no need to pay... where did you buy your domain? and what is your webhost?

    You have to find the nameservers at your host digidotz. I believe they are:

    ns1.digidotz.com
    ns2.digidotz.com

    Now go to your registrar name.com edit the settings of the domain you want the nameservers to be changed, look for that setting and enter the nameservers of digidotz. That should do the trick.

    Hey, thanks for helping me out,

    I've already tried that, but when I click 'Edit Name Servers' my domain registrar has 4 nameserver names like that, so do I leave those 4 and then just add the new ones to that? Then when I click on "Manage Name Servers" this is what it says:

    ""
    This will register a name server for your domain name with the registry.You must have the IP address of the name server you are registering.

    Do not use this service to add name servers to your domain. Instead use the "Edit Name Servers" option.

    Host Name:[a box to type a decent sized word into].jordanbliss.com
    IP Address:[another box that i can enter into with a Register button next to it]
    "":eek::confused:

    What the hell is that about!??! This is where I'm like "What the f..... :confused:

    (my site is jordanbliss.com, by the way)

    Just don't fill in.

    Fill ns1.digidotz.com and ns2.digidotz.com. Keep the other empty.

    It will take upto 24 hours, for the changes to take effect.

    Yeah, delete the one prefilled, and enter those two.

    ns1.digidotz.com
    ns2.digidotz.com

    leave the 3rd and 4th ones blank, and wait 24 hours... also your webhost should give you an email, or something with details on how to set it up.

    Tip: if you want to check if it has worked, use a proxy to access your domain name. They're updated very frequently and will show the changes much sooner then your regular browser will.
