Web Hosting Getting Started Guide 14 

to redirect certain settings for your domain (called name servers) so that they point to 

Yahoo! s servers, the computers that make your web site available on the Internet.  

The redelegation process varies depending on which registrar you originally registered your 

domain. Many allow you to make the changes on their web sites.  

To redelegate your domain, simply contact your registrar (such as Network Solutions) and 

ask it to replace your current name servers with Yahoo! s name servers. You ll need to 

provide this information:  

Primary Name Server: yns1.yahoo.com  

Primary IP Address: 66.218.71.205 (may not be required) 

Secondary Name Server: yns2.yahoo.com  

Secondary IP Address: 216.109.116.20 (may not be required)  

Please be aware that Yahoo! has no jurisdiction over domain names registered with other 

services. Only you (the registrant), through your current hosting provider or registrar, have 

the ability to modify this information. 

Once you complete redelegation, it can take up to 48 hours for changes to your domain to 

take effect. During this time visitors to your domain may see whatever web site (if any) was 

associated with your domain before redelegating to Yahoo!  

Please be aware that redelegation is not a registrar transfer. You will still be responsible for 

paying all fees associated with your domain name renewal directly to your original registrar.

Common Questions 

Who owns the domain name I register? 

When you register your domain during your order for services, you designate the registrant 

(owner) and administrator. Yahoo! is only listed as the technical contact and name servers. 

As the registrant, you have final authority and responsibility regarding the use of your 

domain name. For more information, refer to the Domain Registration Agreement that 

pertains to your domain name. You can find the Domain Registration Agreement in your 

Terms of Service.
