Add a New Verio Domain Name to an Existing WebCom Account

Please Note that this page gives instructions for adding Domain Names registered through Verio only.

To add a new .com, .net, or .org Domain Name registered through Verio to your existing WebCom account, please follow these steps:

  1. Once you have received the email notice that your Verio Domain Name Registration account is active, login to the Verio Control Panel. Do this by by following the instructions in your activation email notice (In your browser, enter your numeric (IP) address given in the email, followed by "/stats". It would look something like this: 209.1.28.61/stats You will be prompted for a username and password. Use the username and password provided in your activation email.).

  2. When you have logged in to your Verio account, click on the "Domain Manager" link in the upper left hand portion of the Verio Control Panel (Pictured below). A list of your Verio-registered domain names will be presented on the screen. Find the domain that you wish to modify and click on the "Edit Name Servers" section below it. This will take you to the Name Server Modification form.


  3. Simply replace the name server in the NamerServer1 box with ns.webcom.com/~webcom and replace the name server in the NameServer2 box with ns2.webcom.com/~webcom. Click on the Update Name Servers button at the bottom of the form, and you're done.




Now that the domain name has been set to point to WebCom's name servers, all that remains is to add the domain to your exiting WebCom account. To do this,

  1. Login to your WebCom account using the Control Panel Login link on the left side of this page, and then select "Domain Name Services" on the Control Panel.
  2. Click on "Activate a .com, .net, .org Domain already pointing to WebCom."
  3. Enter your new domain name in section 2 of the form, leaving out the www. prefix.



  4. Click on "Activate virtual domain name at WebCom" to update our system.

The host file for your domain will now be created in the WebCom name servers during the next refresh cycle, which occurs between 2am and 6am Pacific Standard Time. It may take 48 to 72 hours before changes to domain names propagate through the entire Internet.


If you are not sure at which registrar your Domain Name was registered, you can use the domain name 'whois' lookup at http://www.nsiregistry.com to find out.
