Step 6: Delegate your Domain Name |
|
Delegation is more of an issue when transferring a
domain from one web host to another. As mine was a new domain, all I had to do was provide
Internet Names Australia with the names of Hiway's 3 Domain Name SERVERS (Hiway provided these
names) and my Admin and Tech NIC handles (see "Step 5: Domain Name", number 17 under
"Important") |

Internet Names Australia
Level 3, 207 Bouverie Street Carlton, Victoria 3053 Ph: 1800 354 595 or 9344 9366

Connect to the internet and key in www.ina.com.au |
2 |
|
Click "Online Delegation/Redelegation Form" |
|
|
IGNORE the "authorisation form"
link. Your domain name is new and hasn't been delegated. This only applies to domain names that
are already delegated and the owner wants to change to another web host's SERVERS |

This took me to a form which said "The delegation
request has been passed via email to COM.AU at Melbourne IT. You will not receive any further
correspondence with respect to this request. If the Name SERVERS, as listed on your form, are
functioning correctly, the delegation will be done |
|
They WERE and my domain name WAS delegated.
This meant that, instead of using my IP address to go to my new web site (as I had been doing),
I could now use nailitnow.com.au |
|
How I Delegated my US domain name (wwwalbum.com) |
|
I didn't have to. Hiway have a direct account with
InterNIC (the US domain name authority) and look after all US domain name registrations and
delegation is done automatically when my domain name was registered. All I had to do was pay the registration invoice InterNIC emailed
me. By the way, the US use the word "propagation" NOT delegation |
Now all the official stuff was completed, I could
concentrate on the design of my web site (see Step 7: Web Site Designer) |
