Unix DNS information

In order to have your web site viewed on our server you need to have the DNS pointed to our server through the company you registered your domain with.

The Email that you receive from Host Relief will contain all the DNS information that you will need.

We use several different DNS servers that are tailored for use for different customers. Therefore we cannot publish that information here. However if you need this infomation again because you have lost it, Email Us and we will reply with this.
