Add A Zone

Domain names that are not currently pointing to our name servers (ns1.lnhi.net, ns2.lnhi.net, ns3.lnhi.net) will be assigned a temporary "Host Name" and "IP address" to add in your current DNS management system for verification.

e.g. mydomain.com for the Domain Name



e.g. 1.2.3.4 as the Primary IP

3. Click Add



4. If your domain returns as Unverified click the Unverified link to verify DNS Management
