Nameservers

[Lewstar]

It’s been awhile since l bought a domain name, and doing so now seems to be more complicated—at least “afterbirth,” so to speak.

Specifically, finalizing the transaction. Apparently, doing so involves verifying or incorporating nameservers inside-out. (I teach English and know grammar and punctuation inside, but I’m technologically-impaired.)

I just purchased turmuric.com. a slight misspelling of the wildly viral health spice, from Network Solutions (they got my business by offering a $1 fee for the first year); in the past, after purchasing a domain name, all l had to do was list the name for sale on a seller like GoDaddy.

Now it seems my transaction is not complete until l verify or designate or otherwise deal with nameservers. At least l believe the that’s the name of the confusing-to-me final necessary step before attempting to see my domain name.

Would someone please explain to me what l need to do with my just-purchased domain name before l can attempt to market it.

Thanks very much for your help, and l promise to pay your kind assistance forward.

P.S. l proofread my message and noticed several errors, which l tried to correct, but, apparently, NamePros is not familiar with the writers’ axiom “Nothing good is ever written, only rewritten” and won’t allow people to correct their mistakes. Very strange!

I am a little confused too (although often in that state of mind to be honest ).

If by confirming transaction it simply means verifying that you do control the email that you used in the purchase, the email from Network Solutions to do so should be obvious (I have never registered with them so can't be more specific, but it has been easy with the 5 registrars I dealt with).

If by DNS you mean you need to set the DNS settings to point where your domain is listed on a parking or lander page, you should first decide where you plan to sell it (i.e. Sedo, Afternic, GoDaddy, Flippa, Undeveloped, ToughDomains, etc.) and list it there. After that they will have instructions for the DNS settings. Again I don't know Network Solutions but presume that there will be a link labelled DNS or something when you log into your account.

Remember that in general you can't transfer a name within 60 days due to transfer rules, so depending when you bought it may have time to wait. You can push it at that registrar to a new owner in the interim though.

my domain name was good to go as is

No it is not good to go. In fact, it is not even your domain unless your name is Kiran Kumar Sachidanand Murthy! Also check the attached whois!

I do NOT think that you own the domain and you're simply unable to understand what happened at Network Solutions and their e-mail.
