When your trial period ends, you will be gifted a custom domain name that you can choose to your liking.

Your domain name will be connected to your Noiseyard website. These changes may take up to 24 hours to take effect, though typically they happen much faster.

Please note that:

• Once your new domain is registered, we’ll automatically issue an SSL certificate for it. While the installation may take up to 24 hours, it usually happens much faster. Once the certificate is installed, you’ll see "https://" and a padlock icon in the address bar next to your domain name, indicating that sensitive information is secure and private.

• If your website isn’t loading 24 hours after you updated the nameservers, please contact our support team for assistance.

1. Sign in to your GoDaddy Domain Portfolio.

2. Select the checkboxes next to the domains you'll be updating. Or select the checkbox next to Domain Name and then choose Select All.

   • Depending on your screen size, you may need to select the More menu and scroll down to see Nameservers.

   • GoDaddy Nameservers (recommended): We'll update your domain to a set of GoDaddy nameservers, and you'll manage DNS in your GoDaddy account.

   • I'll use my own nameservers: Enter your custom nameservers. Your DNS will be managed elsewhere and not through your GoDaddy account.

5. Select Save, then Continue to complete your updates.


   • If your domain has Domain Protection, you'll need to verify your identity. If you've had two-step verification (2SV) turned on for at least 24 hours, enter the code we sent via SMS, or enter the code from your authenticator app. Otherwise, enter the one-time password we sent to your registrant email address.

You'll see a Success confirmation letting you know the nameservers have been updated. Most DNS updates take effect within an hour, but could take up to 48 hours to update globally.

1. Open the Domains section and select the domain.

2. Scroll to Nameservers and click Change button to proceed to the nameservers management page.

3. Choose the Change nameservers option, enter new nameservers, and click Save.

1. Go to your My Domains.

2. Click Manage next to your domain.

3. Select DNS page from the drawer on the left.
