Replacing Rediff’s Name Servers with others could render many of your services inactive. Changing your Name Servers will not automatically cancel your service. You will continue to manage your WHOIS contact information through Rediff and Rediff will continue to renew your annual domain registration.

If you would like to proceed with the change, you can click on ‘manage domain’ on the Account(s) Summary page for the domain name whose name server information you wish to modify.

To change Name Servers:

Click on ‘edit’ below Name server mapping on ‘manage your domain’ page.

Replace the existing nameserver hostnames with the nameserver hostnames of your new domain name host on the name server update page.

Note: It may not be necessary to enter the IP addresses of the Name Servers. In most cases only the host name of the Name Servers is necessary.

Click on ‘Save changes’

While your changes will appear in your Name Servers within minutes, please be aware that it can take 24-48 hours for changes to records to be propagated to all Name Servers throughout the Internet.

If you would like to restore your Name Servers to their default setting, you can Click on ‘edit’ below Name Server Mapping on ‘Manage Your Domain’ page.

Delete the nameserver hostnames of your new domain name host you keyed in The system will automatically take in the default Rediff nameserver hostnames.

Domain forwarding service is a free service at Rediff Business Solutions. The domain forward feature lets you point your domain name to another home page or web site location and keep track of all your customers. This is used when you have registered a number of similar domain names but you want to have the same website for all domain names. Let’s say your main site/domain name is MYSITE.COM. Your strategy may also be to register the names:

MYSITES.COM

MY-SITE.COM

MY-SITES.COM

and have all these names go to your MYSITE.COM website. This theory assumes that your MAIN domain name might not be remembered correctly so you might as well get hits for all the domain names.

When using domain name forwarding, the address of the site that your domain name is forwarded to is NOT shown. For instance, if you have the domain name MYNEWSITE.COM forwarded to MYSITE.COM, the web browser will NOT show references to MYSITE.COM.
