How do I modify my DNS if my domain name is registered with Register.com?
1. Log into http://mydomain.register.com using your user name and password (typically established during the domain name registration process).
2. Click the Modify DNS link on the main screen.
3. Replace the name of the DNS with the following DNS:

NS3.NETMICRO.COM
NS5.NETMICRO.COM

Note: In order to edit the DNS listed as authoritative for your domain name, you will need to have access to the current email address on file for the domain name. You will need to be able to access this email account in order to complete a confirmation process that has been set up to ensure that the requested DNS change is authorized by a current contact on file for the domain name. This confirmation email will be sent to the email address on file for the domain name and will include a URL link to the last step in the confirmation process.

How do I modify my DNS if my domain name is registered with Network Solutions (NetSol)?
1. Select the Manage Your Account tab from any page within NetSol's site or go to this link: https://www.netsol.com/en_US/manage-it/index.jhtml and log in.
2. Select the Host Manager tab.
3. Under the Host Manager heading, click on the modify button and enter the email address to which you want confirmations sent. Click on Proceed to Gather Host Information.
4. Complete either the host handle, host name or host IP address and click on Find Host Information. The rest of the information for the host record will be retrieved for you. Modify the host names to that of our DNS:

NS3.NETMICRO.COM
NS5.NETMICRO.COM

You can change the contact for the host by replacing the contact handle with another handle or by removing the contact handle and providing detailed contact information. You cannot change the host handle. Click on the button labeled Proceed to: Host Form Authorization Information.
5. On the page titled, Host Form Authorization Information, highlight the option next to the Guardian method you have chosen. If you have Crypt-Password, enter and confirm your password in the text boxes.
6. Click the Generate Host Form button. A message containing your form will be sent to hostmaster@networksolutions.com for processing. If you have provided the correct crypt password the request will be immediately processed. If the password was wrong, or the contacts for the host or parent domain have Mail-From or PGP guardian, a notification will be sent to the appropriate contacts asking for approval to make the change.

How do I modify my DNS if my domain name is registered with a registrar other than Register.com or Network Solutions?
Please contact your current registrar for instructions on how to modify the DNS for your domain name.
