Please remember, a domain name is not a web site, just a web address. If you want to get your website online you may choose any web hosting company or select from our range of affordable, guaranteed web hosting plans.

Once you have chosen a web hosting plan, you can have your domain name point to your website.

Here's what to do: Your web hosting company will provide you with Domain Name Server (DNS) information. This is usually included in the email they send you when your web site is ready. The DNS information will look something like this:

ns1.webhostcompany.com ns2.webhostcompany.com

Then enter this DNS information by clicking this Domain Manager link.

After logging in with your UserName and Password, go to the "Change DNS/Hosting Info" section and enter the changes. When you're done the domain name will point to your new web host in about 24-72 hours.

Note: When you enter your DNS information, do NOT include any IP addresses (for example 123.45.67.890).

If you have a free web site (such as members sites with AOL or Geocities), you can point your domain there by using our URL-forwarding option.

Note that it may take from 24-72 hours for the routing to propagate.

A domain name is an address on the Web which may or may not be connected to a web site. It usually fits the following format: www.yoursite.com.

Many domain names are registered but are "parked" without a website.

Web hosting is the physical space and other services you rent on a remote computer - known as a server - connected to the Internet round the clock. Your hosting company is responsible for maintaining the remote computer/server.

Yes! You are welcome to register any or all of your domain names through Morris Creek whether or not you are hosting your website with us.

If you purchase a domain, and do not have web hosting for your site, you will not be able to show your website to anyone.

If you register your domain name through Morris Creek, you will be able to point it to any web hosting company that you choose. You will always have access to your domain manager, and will be able to modify your domain name records any time you need.

No. Web hosting companies are as different as the people who run them, and the customers that they have. Web hosting companies are the most different when it comes to their commitment to high quality support.

With most web hosting companies, you will be treated like a number. If you need support, you may not even have a phone number to call in case of emergency.

Web hosts also compete with each other with a wide variety of prices and services.
Many of our customers join after the "Cheap Web Hosting Company" that they were hosting with went out of business, or just disappeared without warning.

That's why maybe we aren't the "Cheapest Web Hosting Company" on the internet. However, we are building a reputation based on quality customer support and satisfaction while maintaining affordable web hosting prices.

You can rest assured that when you host your site with us, we will be there for you.

You have two options to change the hosting of your domain. The first option is the most direct. Contact your web host and obtain your DNS (Domain Name Server) Information. Once you have the DNS information, return to the Morris Creek website and update your DNS records online, gaining access to our Member Login area with your username and password.

Choose the "Change DNS/Hosting Info" link, then select the domain you wish to change the hosting for and enter your new DNS information.

Some hosts, though, will not allow unique domains to point to your site. In that case, you'll need the second option. That is our URL-forwarding service. URL-forwarding is a function of the management control panel. Access the Manage section through our Member Login with your username and password and select the URL-forwarding link.

There is a nominal fee to receive our banner-free forwarding to the URL of your choice. You can use a www URL- http like this: //www.yourcompany.com/yourexamplesite.html or a host URL- http like this: //12.34.56.789 Both options will take about 24-48 hours to take effect.

DNS (Domain Name System) is a system that translates a domain name from letters (www.yourdomain.com) into a numerical IP address (NS1.YOURDOMAIN.COM 63.85.86.14).

Each time you register a domain name you must specify your DNS information. If you register a domain name through Morris Creek, you can use our DNS information free of charge.

This is known in the industry as "parking" a domain. Parking your domain name is free using Morris Creek's servers. By default all new .COM, .NET, .US, .ORG, .BIZ, .INFO domains registered with us are parked for free on our servers. You can change the DNS information at any time, also free of charge, but be aware, your new DNS host may charge you a parking fee.

Your web hosting company should have given you the primary and secondary DNS information. This information will usually take this form:

Primary Hostname: ns1.examplehostname.com
Primary IP- 123.45.67.8
Secondary Hostname: ns2.examplehostname.com
Secondary IP- 123.45.67.9

You can log on to our website at Morris Creek, and click the "Domain Manager " link. Enter the username and password you chose at the time of registration. If you have forgotten the username and password you chose, you may enter the email address you entered at the time of registration to have your username and password emailed to you.

After you log in, you will see links to the actions you can perform. Click the "Change DNS/Hosting Info" link. You will be able to see the current name server information listed. Select the domain(s) whose hosting you wish to alter, and click the "Continue" button. On the next screen, you will be able to enter the hosting information your host has given to you. Replace the current servers with the new server info (you may omit the IP addresses, as they are optional), and click the "Continue" button.

Your new DNS information will be automatically entered if it is verified to be valid. It will take about 24 - 48 hours for your change to propagate Internet-wide.

Yes. Login to your domain manager Control Panel Login link with the username and password of the account containing the domain you wish to specify as the hostname of your new name servers.

Click the Name server Management link. You will be able to create new name servers, edit current name servers, or delete current name servers.

The name server you wish to create must be a domain in this account. Click the "New" button to create new name servers. Then you will choose your new server hostnames: i.e. NS1.YOURNEWSERVERHOSTNAME.COM &
NS2.YOURNEWSERVERHOSTNAME.COM

You must also fill in the IP addresses that you wish to associate with your new hostnames. You must use 2 unique static IP addresses; no other servers may already use the IPs.

After each name server submission, click the "Continue" button. If your information is valid, your name servers will be sent to the central database. It will take 24-48 hours for your name servers to propagate.

Note: Non-US name server records that don't currently have a registry record must be created by us manually. Please email us with details. This is the limit of our technical support. If you need support on how to configure your server or any other name server issue, please obtain outside support.
