To use your existing domain name with a Yahoo! Small Business
service, like Yahoo! Web Hosting or Yahoo! Business Mail, you need to contact
your domain registrar and request a name server change to redirect your
existing domain name to your new service hosted by Yahoo! Small Business.
You should provide your domain registrar with the following information:
I would like to request a name server change. Please make the following changes for [enter your domain name here]:
Primary name server: yns1.yahoo.com
Primary IP address: 66.218.71.205
Secondary name server: yns2.yahoo.com
Secondary IP address: 216.109.116.20
Don't know who your domain registrar is? Look it up in the public domains registry, called the WHOIS directory.
Please note
· This is not a registrar transfer. Your domain name registration will remain with your registrar, and you'll still be responsible for domain name fees and renewal with your current provider.
· Only the domain owner can request this change. Yahoo! Small Business cannot do it for you.
· Your name server change may not take effect for up to 72 hours.
· See the instructions below if you also want to move an existing web site from another provider to Yahoo! Small Business.
How do I move my web site to Yahoo! Web Hosting?
1. Save all of your web site files - including images, sound files, and video clips - to your computer.
2. Transfer these files from your computer to Yahoo! Web Hosting using FTP or our web-based file upload tool.
3. Once you've uploaded the files, you can preview your site before publishing it to the Internet. You can continue to preview and make adjustments until all your web pages look exactly the way you want.
4. If you are using an existing domain name, contact your registrar to change your name servers. (See instructions above.) This change will redirect your existing domain name to your web site hosted with Yahoo! Web Hosting.
5. Once this change has been made, you can publish your web site to the Internet with the click of a button.
Please note
Special features offered by your current hosting provider, such as guestbooks or counters, may not work with Yahoo! Web Hosting. However, you can replace many of these features with Yahoo! Web Hosting enhancements, including guestbooks, counters, site search tools, and more.
How do I move my existing email account to Yahoo! Business Email?
1. Save any messages you may want to access later to your computer.
2. Forward your current email to an account not associated with your domain name to make sure that you do not miss any messages during the transition.
3. Contact your registrar to change the name servers for your domain name. (See instructions above.) This change will redirect your existing domain name to Yahoo! Small Business.
Once you have been notified that your name servers have been changed, you can set up your Yahoo! Business Email account to receive messages sent to your existing email address.
