Add an already-registered domain name

To add a domain name you have already registered, follow these instructions:

  1. Go to Services > Add a Domain Name (use the drop-down menu) or go to Services > Domains and use the Add a Domain Name button. 
  2. Enter the domain name you already own and registered in the field indicated.

  3. Click the Save Domain Name button.
Note
Be sure to enter just the domain; do not include www.
Pointing

Point the domain to RescueGroups.org

  1. Log in to your current domain name registrar (for example GoDaddy, Network Solutions, etc) and look for the option for "Name Servers."

  2. Enter the following name servers: 
    dns1.rescuegroups.org
    dns2.rescuegroups.org

  3. Save the changes, and within a few hours, your domain name will begin to use the RescueGroups.org DNS service so that when you browse to your domain name you see your RescueGroups.org website. If you do not see the change within 24 hours, please contact us.
