Domain Name Registration and Configuration

Register Domain Name

Registering a domain name is an important part of having your business online. With a domain name, your customers have a simple way of accessing you web site. Also, once a domain name has been set-up to your account, you can have up to 200 email addresses with that domain name (i.e. info@yourDomainName.com). There are five steps you must take to register and direct a domain name to the main page of your web site. Click the links next to each step for detailed information.

Step 1- Search for a Domain Name (Click link for information)

You will first need to search for a domain name that is available for

you to register.

Step 2- Register the Domain Name (Click link for information)

You will then need to purchase that domain name at a domain

registrar of your choice.

Step 3- Modify Domain Name Information (Click link for information)

You will then need to change the Technical Contact and Domain

Name Server information to point to ICServ.

Step 4- Notify Customer Support (Click here for information)

Once your domain information has been changed, you will need to

notify Customer Support to direct it to your Main Page.

Step 5- Verify Domain Name Configuration (Click link for information)

Once Customer Support has processed your domain name, you

should then check if your domain name has been configured

correctly.

Step 1- Search for a Domain Name

In the field provided below, type in the name you would like your site to have. Be sure to include a domain extension, such as .com, .net, .org, etc. Click the ‘Search' button to see if the domain name is available.
If the domain name has already been taken, the domain record will be displayed and you will find the words "This domain name is unavailable". Continue searching until you are informed that the domain name is available.

Step 2- Register the Domain Name

Once you find a domain name that is available, you will need to choose a domain registrar to register the domain name. You may choose from the selected registrars below or search for a domain registrar of your choice. Note: If you wish to skip the rest of the "Register Domain Name" process, you may have EZ-Net Tools™ do it for you. We will register the domain name you have chosen and point that domain name to your account within 2 business days of it's registration. This can be done for a fee. Call the Billing Department at (208) 356-8361.
Click on one of the links below for the domain registrar that you would like to register the domain name. This will open a new window and take you to that registrars web page where you would register your domain name.

These companies will have different ways to register a domain name, so you will need to follow their process for registering the domain name. They usually will ask for your name and address, along with a major credit card for billing purposes. You may even create or be assigned a user ID and password.
Once you are finished purchasing a domain name, close the window and proceed to
Step 3 of the registering a domain name process.

Step 3- Modify Domain Name Information

Once the domain name is registered in your name, you will need to direct that domain to point to the EZ-Net Tools™ servers. To do this you will need to change two pieces of information that your domain name holds: the Technical Contact and the Domain Name Servers (sometimes referred to as DNS). You will need to do this by logging in at your domain registrars web site. Most registrars have a link on their Main Page to modify DNS or will have a place for you to login. You can use these links to a few selected registrars to go to their Modify DNS or login page:
First, we need to change the Technical Contact: When logged in, find the area where you can change the technical contact for that domain name. You will need to change and submit the following information:

Name:
Company:
Address:

Phone #:
Fax #:
Email: DNS Administrator
EZ-NetTools
238 E. 3000 N.
Rexburg, ID 83440
(208) 356-8361
(208) 356-4969
domains@eznettools.com

Some registrars will give you the option to use a NIC Handle. If you are registering at Network Solutions, you do not need to enter the above information, but can enter our NIC Handle. Where designated, enter DA12719-OR for the NIC Handle. Other registrars will have you enter the Technical Contact information and will assign you a NIC Handle. Write down the Handle they assign and enter it where they designate.
Next, we need to change the Domain Name Servers: Within your domain account, you should find the place where you can change the DNS or Name Servers for your domain name. Enter and submit the following information in the provided fields:

Primary Name Server:
Primary IP Address:
Secondary Name Server:
Secondary IP Address: ns1.icserv.net
~~67.158.135.240~~ 192.225.178.78
ns2.icserv.net
~~67.158.135.243~~ 192.225.178.79
All of this information is required for us to connect the domain name to your site. Once this information has been changed, proceed to Step 4 of the Registering a domain name process.

Step 4- Notify Customer Support

When your domain name information has been changed, you will need to confirm that the changes have been changed in the WhoIs database. Some domain registrars may take a few days for your domain name to be updated in their database, while others are instantaneous. To check if your domain information has been updated, type in and submit your domain name in the field below:

Type in the domain name to look up.
If you see your domain name display with the Technical Contact and Name Servers displaying our information, you can then notify Customer Support. You may either submit your domain name along with the account number (X3*****) in the table below or call Customer Support at (208) 356-6887.

Step 5- Verify Domain Name Configuration

Once you have contacted Customer Support about your domain name, you will be notified when it should be set-up. A domain name usually takes 24-48 hours to process. After that time has passed and you feel it should've processed, you can verify if your domain name has been configured correctly. Simply type your domain name in the address bar of your browser and press the 'Enter' key on your keyboard. If your web page shows up, it has been configured correctly. If you are still having trouble finding your site, contact Customer Support.
