What are the effects of changing DNS?


DNS Management should be used by advanced users.


General



Once you change your DNS, 1&1 hosting features may not be usable. You can still set up features like WebsiteCreator and in2Site Live Dialogue as a preparatory step in case you wish to reroute your domain to 1&1 DNS settings.

Choosing your own name servers



1. If you choose your own name servers, 1&1 hosting services are no longer available.
2. 1&1 has no influence over your mailservers and IP settings, since these are manifested in the name servers.
3. It is possible to reroute your mailservers to 1&1 and use 1&1 mail services.
4. If you use your own name servers and would like to point back to your 1&1 web space via A-record, please be aware that the IPs change. Therefore we cannot guarantee proper functionality of this arrangement.
5. Once you select another name server, we keep ours as a hidden DNS entry. This way we ensure that your website stays online despite the prorogation time.
