  Tip Of The Month
  

Domain Names (Part I of III) - Registering a Domain Name

You are highly encouraged to register your own domain name. This way, when someone types in your URL, they are automatically directed to your Branded AgentPage where they can do business directly with you.

Below are instructions on purchasing a domain name, setting the name servers and parking the domain at your BIRDVIEW AgentPage. These instructions were created using www.GoDaddy.com, but you can purchase your domain name from whomever you wish.

Domain Name Search

  • Go to www.GoDaddy.Com and find the box that says "search for domain name now" and enter a domain.
  • If the name you want is available, click the box next to the domain name and extension of your choice. Then click "Smart Registration" to purchase it.
  • If the name you want is not available, search for another name. Below are some good examples to try.

Purchase Your Domain Name

  • Create your account and select the length of your registration. We recommend a 5-year term for a primary domain.
  • Click the option to "Host Domain Elsewhere".
  • Enter BIRDVIEW's name servers in the boxes provided. The primary and secondary Name Servers should be:
    Primary - NS1.BVRD.COM
    Seconday - NS2.BVRD.COM
  • Ignore the extra's they try to sell and "Proceed to Check-out". Eventually you'll be asked to confirm your domain name.
  • Complete the Account Owner information, payment information and set up your password. Write down your password!
  • Keep a copy of the confirmation code you receive after the transaction is complete.

Park Your Domain at Your BIRDVIEW Page

  • E-mail support@birdview.com and ask BIRDVIEW to "park your new domain name at your website".
  • Be sure to include your full name, your new domain name(s), and the web address of your website.
