*Propagation:
If you haven't already, you will need to modify the DNS (Domain Name Servers) information with your registrar (the company who you registered your domain name with). This needs to be done so that your domain name will display your site on our servers. Typically you would log into your account on your registrars website to modify the DNS. Let us know if you need help with this.
Our Name Servers are as follows:
NS1.FINESTPLANET.COM
NS2.FINESTPLANET.COM
Once the DNS propagates (usually within 24 hours), you can access all these areas using your domain name. Until then, use the numbered IP address.
Note: If you are moving your site from a different server, be sure to upload a copy of your site onto the new server before you change the DNS.
