DOMAIN NAME SERVICE
Who needs this User Guide?
Customers who will transfer their domain name(s) to LOGIX for hosting.
Why this User Guide?
This guide outlines the domain name hosting and transfer process.
UNDERSTANDING DOMAIN NAME SERVICES (DNS)i
Your company’s domain name (i.e. samplecompany.com) uniquely identifies your
company to the rest of the world. Your company must purchase a domain name
from a domain name registrar. Common registrars are Network Solutions,
GoDaddy, or Register.com. LOGIX does not sell, renew or transfer domain
names.
Domain Name Hosting, also known as DNS Hosting, is often confused with Web
Hosting and E-mail Hosting. One of the functions of DNS Hosting is to direct traffic
to your website. Another function of DNS Hosting is to direct incoming
E-mail to your E-mail provider.
Note: LOGIX can provide DNS Hosting (see Page 8), E-Mail Hosting (see Page 9),
and/or Web Hosting (see Page 23).
TRANSFERRING YOUR DNS TO LOGIXi
STEP 1i
Contact the LOGIX Data Help Desk at 1-877-673-1868 to place or confirm your
DNS hosting order.
Note: If your domain name is transferred to LOGIX prior to the completion of
your LOGIX DNS order, your website and E-mail associated with this domain name
will be interrupted.
Page 7 of 29
Data Help Desk
1-877-673-1868
www.logixcom.com
STEP 2i
Contact your domain name registrar to request your domain name(s) transfer to
LOGIX.
STEP 3i
Follow the instructions provided by your registrar to initiate the domain name(s)
transfer. You will need to provide the registrar the following server names for each
domain name hosted by LOGIX:
PRIMARY NAME SERVER
faith.logixcom.net
IP Address: 216.201.128.10
SECONDARY NAME SERVER
meredith.logixcom.net
IP Address: 66.196.216.10
Confirm that the server entries above are the only ones listed for your domain.
Note: It takes up to 48 hours for the new server information to propagate
throughout the Internet. After 48 hours, if LOGIX is providing E-mail hosting
and/or Web hosting for the domain name(s) you have transferred, refer to Email Hosting (see Page 9) and/or Web Hosting (see Page 23).
If Logix is not providing E-mail hosting, contact your E-mail hosting company and
get the name of their E-mail hosting server. Call the LOGIX Data Help Desk at 1877-683-1867 and ask to update your MX record using the E-mail server name
provided by your E-mail hosting company.
If Logix is not providing Web hosting, contact the company that is hosting your
website and get the IP address of their Web hosting server. Call the LOGIX Data
Help Desk at 1-877-683-1867 and ask to update your World Wide Web (WWW)
record using the IP address provided by your web hosting company.
