1984's Nameservers

If you need to direct a domain from another provider to 1984's nameservers you use these:

ns0.1984.is
ns1.1984.is
ns2.1984.is
ns1.1984hosting.com
ns2.1984hosting.com

If you can not add all the nameservers try adding at least one 1984.is nameserver and one 1984hosting.com nameserver


Add your domain to a DNS Zone

To put a domain into a DNS Zone you do as follows:

→ Log in to your user at 1984.hosting.
→ Click FreeDNS and choose DNS - Add zone.
→ Where is says Domain, fill in the domain name (without www) .
→ Where is says IP address you usually do not need to fill in anything.
→ Click Create zone.
To view your DNS Zone:
→ Click FreeDNS again and choose DNS - Manage domains .
→ Click your domain name.


Change the nameservers

Only 1984 staff can change the nameservers of .is domains.
To change the nameservers of other domains bought from 1984 you do following:

Log in to your user at 1984.hosting.
→ Click FreeDNS and choose DNS - Manage Domains.
→ Click the gearwheel to the far right of the domain name you need to work on.
→ Fill in the nameservers you need and click Save Changes.


Connect a .is domain to 1984's nameservers at isnic.is

→ Log onto the ISNIC web interface atisnic.is using the NIC you got from ISNIC.
→ Select your domain and click Redelegate.
→ In the drop down list select 1984 ehf. The name servers of 1984 will automatically appear in three of the fields below.
→ Click Submit.
→ The 1984 name servers will now be tested for correctness of the setup and if everything is ok, the domain will enter the processing queue. The domain should then become active in the next couple of hours.

URL Redirect in DNS

Log in to your user at 1984.hosting

→ Click FreeDNS and choose DNS - Manage Domains.
→ Click the domain you want to work with.
→ Now delete the A-record @ and the CNAME-record www.
→ Then you click the link New URL redirect on bottom left of the page.
→ Write @ host host and the URL path goes into URL Redirect
→ Click Add URL Redirect.
→ Then you click the New URL redirect link again.
→ Now fill in www in host again the URL path goes into URL Redirect
→ Click Add URL Redirect

If you have a hosting account I reccomend using the redirect function there instead because DNS redirect can work badly with https
