Q. How do I change nameservers to use my own DNS? I need to point my domain to my webhosting company?

A. Login to your account, click to view your domains.
Click on the 'M' icon beside the domain to enter the mangage area for that domain, click on 'change nameservers'.

Change the drawdown box at the top to read 'custom nameservers'.
Then enter your nameservers in the spaces available. Enter only the nameservers host names, not the IP addresses.
Click 'Save'.

Your updates will be reflected on the control panel immediately; however, the request is submitted into a queue with the Registry. The Registry updates daily at 5:00am and 5:00pm EST.

Please allow up to 48 hours for changes to be effective. While waiting for this to propagate, your website may be inaccessible.

DomainKeys
08-30-2010
Postrock supports DomainKeys, an e-mail authentication system designed to verify the DNS domain of an e-mail sender and the message integrity. Postrock automatically verifies incoming mail by using the DomainKeys system to check all e-mail messages coming to e-mail users under all domains hosted on the server. Postrock also allows signing outgoing mail. Selecting this option allows you to switch on support for DomainKeys e-mail signing through the domain administration screens of the control panel (Domains > domain name > Mail > Preferences > Use DomainKeys spam protection system to sign outgoing e-mail messages option).
