Questions & Answers

I already have a domain – can I use it for my Foliotwist website?

Yes, but before your website can go live you will need to complete a simple process called "switching nameservers" which will point your domain towards our server.

The steps to complete this process are always slightly different depending on where you purchased your domain, so although the following instructions should help, they won’t be perfect. If you get lost, contact us and we’ll be glad to help you the rest of the way.

  1. Go to the website where you purchased your domain and log into your account.
  2. Find your domain—you should be able to click on it, or click on a nearby link to edit various settings for the domain.
  3. Look for a button or link to modify your nameservers. (Quick hint: pressing CTRL+F or CMD+F will allow you to search any web page for specific word, so if you’re having trouble finding where you need to go, try searching the page for the word "nameserver.")
  4. When you locate the page where you can edit your nameserver settings, choose the option for "custom nameservers" and type these two lines into the first two input boxes:
    1. NS1.SOFTLAYER.COM
    2. NS2.SOFTLAYER.COM
  5. Press save and you’re all done!
