I just signed up with PowWeb, but already own my domain. How do I point my domain to PowWeb?

Karl Fry,


If you want to host your domain with PowWeb, you will need to contact 
your domain registrar and have them point your domain to PowWeb's 
Nameservers.  Our nameserver addresses are:
ns3.powweb.com
ns2.powweb.com
All other nameservers should be deleted from your DNS.
---
If you want to keep your nameservers pointing to a non-PowWeb server 
and still host the website with us, you will need to set up an A 
Record in the DNS of the nameservers your domain is pointing at, and 
have that point all http traffic to the IP address that your hosting 
package has been assigned.
To find the IP address that has been assigned to your hosting package, 
log into your OPS control panel at http://ops.powweb.com, click 
on "Packages" at the top, then "DNS" to the far right.  On this page, 
look under the section labelled "address (A)".  The IP address your 
site as a whole has been assigned will be directly to the right of the 
entry with the Hostname of "@".  It should look something like:
66.152.98.20X --> 'X' will vary depending on which cluster your 
package is on.
You may need to contact the server administrator or technical support 
for your Nameservers for assistance on making these DNS edits.
