How do I change the NAME SERVERS for an existing domain name?
If you have already registered your domain name elsewhere, Alden Hosting will try to assist you in changing your NAME SERVERS for your
domain to our NAME SERVERS.
Domain registars such as Register.com and Namesecure request that you login to their systems, using the login and
password they assigned you, and transfer the domain name yourself. Once you login, you will come across a link
that allows you to change your nameserver information.
In that section, please update your nameserver information to the following:
PRIMARY NS......: NS1.ALDENHOSTING.COM
PRIMARY IP......: 216.206.35.4
SECONDARY NS....: NS2.ALDENHOSTING.COM
SECONDARY IP....: 216.206.35.5
Here are some links to domain manager interfaces for some registrars, that allow you to follow the steps just outlined:
Namesecure:

Register.com:
http://mydomain.register.com
MelbourneIT:

DomainBank:
https://www1.domainbank.net/domainmanager/
Please contact other registrars directly to ask about their domain transfer procedures. Inform them that you wish
to transfer your domain to Alden Hosting, and provide them with the nameserver information listed above.
While waiting for the new nameserver information to propagate around the Internet, we recommend maintaining your
site at your current host to avoid down time for your site. During this time, you can use the IP address that we gave
you to mirror your web site on Alden Hosting's servers until the transfer is complete.
If you have any further questions, feel free to contact our support staff.
