Getting Started
Getting started with DOTQUAD is easy. Sign up, add domains, and you're good to go:
1. Sign up
Click here to sign up for a DOTQUAD account. You can sign up for 30 days with absolutely no obligation. We don't even require a credit card.
2. Add Domains
From your administration homepage, click "Domains" from the menu on the left, and then "Add Domain." Enter the domain name you wish to manage, and click "Save Record."
3. Tell Your Registrar About DOTQUAD
Your domain registrar needs to know that DOTQUAD will be managing your DNS. Go to your account management page at your registrar and change the DNS servers to DOTQUAD:
| DNS Server Name | I.P. Address |
|---|---|
| ns1.dotquad.com | 208.78.29.10 |
| ns2.dotquad.com | 208.78.29.20 |
| ns3.dotquad.com | 208.78.29.30 |
4. Enjoy Global Anycast DNS
After your registrar has propagated the new DNS entries through the internet, your DOTQUAD account will be active. Note that this can take up to 24 hours depending on your registrar. You'll know when DOTQUAD has activated your domain from your domain's administration screen (Home->Domains->[your domain]); it will be have an "Active" status.
