The
Name servers below must be added to your domain name at your registrant
in order to resolve your domain correctly.
Primary Name Server: NS1.timberlandhosting.com
Primary IP Address: 70.84.106.116
Secondary Name Server: NS2.timberlandhosting.com
Secondary IP Address: 66.221.63.92
Why do I have to modify my DNS, and
what does it mean?
Firstly, a basic explanation of the domain name system (this
isn't entirely accurate but for all intents and purposes it will
help you're understanding of what is happening). What happens
when you type in an address into your browser is essentially the Internic domain
database is checked to find the name servers for that domain. Once
your browser knows the name servers is contacts them and wants to
know the specific address of the computer that your website is
located on. Once it has that, it then goes to that computer and
retrieves your site. When you sign up with a hosting provider you
have the Internic domain database changed to that it points to
your new hosting providers name servers. Your hosting provider
will setup their name servers to accept your domain and point it
to the right computer (the one that will have your website
actually on it).
There are a lot
of domain registrars around. Domain registrars are the companies
who actually modify the domain database for you, you pay them for
rights to a domain, and they update the domain database when you
tell them where you want it to point. As there are now lots of
domain registrars and more popping up all the time, it is
impossible for us to list explicit instructions on changing the
name servers associated with your domain for all of them. We've
tried to document a few of the more common ones, however, they may
change without our knowledge. The job of transferring your domain
is essentially up to you, as we don't actually have any power to
transfer the domain, for authorization reasons only the owner and
certain contacts can change details, however, we are willing to
give you help when you have specific questions. If you need help,
send your specific question to your representative and they will
try to help you out. A handy tool is called 'whois'. This checks
every domain registered and tells you what it's name servers are
currently set to. Click here to visit the whois for most domains:

How Long Will It Take?
Please also remember that after you've
changed it, it can take up to 2-3 days to
propagate throughout the world, meaning, the
change may not be visible for up to 2 days
(it could be longer if you are behind a
firewall or proxy).
