How to Migrate DNS from Network Solutions to DNS Made Easy

1. Navigate to the Managed DNS section of the dashboard 
   
   After logging in, hover over the blue DNS tab at the top of the screen and select Managed DNS. Click on the domain that you will be delegating our servers to. You can find your domain in the Recently Updated Domains list or by searching for it in the domain name search bar on the top left side of the screen. 
   
   
   
    
   
2. Find the DNS Made Easy Nameservers for your domain 
   
   Once you select the appropriate domain name, you will be taken to the Managed DNS screen. Click on the Name Servers tab. This tab will display the assigned nameservers for your domain. 
   
   
   
   
   
3. Access Your Domain at Network Solutions 
   
   Log in to your current Network Solutions account. Navigate to the Account Manager page and click on My Domain Names.
   
   
   
   
4. Prepare to Delegate Nameservers to DNS Made Easy
   
   
   • Select Advanced Tools. 
     
     
     
     
     
     Once in the Advanced Tools section, click on Manage in the Nameservers (DNS) column.
     
      
      
5. Point Domains to DNS Made Easy 
   
   The Manage Nameservers (DNS) pop-up window should now be showing. Enter the DNS Made Easy nameservers in each field. To add the sixth server, click the +Nameserver option at the bottom of the window. Then hit the green Save button. 
   
   
   
   Your nameservers are now updated and pointed to DNS Made Easy. After clicking save, you will be returned to the Advanced Tools section in Network Solutions, which should reflect the nameserver changes.
