13) Must I provide personal information in the WHOIS database?
Unfortunately, in order for Vantage to process your domain registration you need

14) Why won't my domain name point or resolve to my web host?
When your domain registration is complete your domain name servers (DNS) are
initially directed to NS1.Host4sites.net and NS2.Host4Sites.net our default name servers. To direct your
domain name at your web host, you need to update your DNS (name servers) to
point to your web host's server, which they should provide for you.

15) How do I get my name server host names and IP's?
You will need to contact your domain hosting company directly to obtain this
information. Ask them what the host names are for their name servers. This is
only if your web host can host domain names.

16) How do I change my name servers? Primary? Secondary?
First contact your web hosting company to obtain their DNS server information.
In your "Domain Management Console", log in. Click on "Manage Name Servers". You
will then need to replace the existing name serves and click on save
configuration. You do not need to enter IP addresses since they are
automatically looked up for you to ensure accuracy. Please note that a DNS
change takes 24 to 72 hours to propagate throughout the Internet. Therefore, it
may be 72 hours until your Web site can be viewed.

17) What do I do if I deleted my name servers?
You can add name servers to replace the name servers you deleted. In "domain
management", log in. Scroll to the bottom and click on "manage name servers". If
you scroll down you will see an area to "add name servers". Enter the Primary
Name Server (ns1.host4sites.net), click "add name server", then scroll down and
enter the secondary name server (ns2.host4sites.net), click "add name server".
Repeat this process if necessary. This change will take 24 to 72 hours to
propagate throughout the Internet.
