I just signed up with hostmonster a couple of days ago, but have run into a snag.
I already own a domain name that is registered at a major registrar. I don't particularlly want to transfer the whole thing to hostmoster (it's already paid up for another 7 years), I just want hostmoster to add my domain name into their DNS servers, and I'll take care of reconfiguring my domain's name servers as ns1.hostmoster.com and ns2.hostmonster.com.
What do I have to do, or whom do I have to ask, to get my domain created in hostmonster's DNS servers? Do I *have to* transfer my domain to hostmonster's control to make this work?
And once hostmonster hosts my DNS domain, which control panel button would I use to manage entries in my domain's DNS database? I don't see an obvious "DNS" management button. Or do they just add a wildcard entry for my domain pointing at "my" server?
thanks
