# Domain Management

> Register, transfer, and connect domains to your CrazyNode services.

You can register a new domain through CrazyNode, transfer an existing one, or point a domain from another registrar. All options are managed from the client area.

## Registering a new domain

<Steps>
  <Step title="Search availability">
    Visit [crazynode.in/domains](https://crazynode.in/domains) and search your desired name.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add to cart and pay">
    Complete checkout — the domain registers instantly.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Configure nameservers">
    By default, the domain uses CrazyNode nameservers and points to your account.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Transferring an existing domain

<Steps>
  <Step title="Unlock at current registrar">
    Disable the transfer lock and request the **EPP / auth code**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Initiate transfer">
    In the CrazyNode client area, go to **Domains → Transfer** and enter the domain and auth code.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Approve the transfer">
    Confirm the transfer email from the registry. It completes in 5–7 days.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Pointing a domain from another registrar

You don't need to transfer — just update the domain's nameservers or DNS records.

### Option 1: Use CrazyNode nameservers

At your existing registrar, set nameservers to:

```text theme={null}
ns1.crazynode.in
ns2.crazynode.in
```

### Option 2: Keep your registrar's DNS

Create an **A record** pointing to your hosting IP (shown in the client area).

See [DNS records](/web-hosting/dns) for full instructions.

<Tip>
  DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate globally, but usually complete within a few hours.
</Tip>

## Managing DNS from the client area

Under **Domains → My Domains → Manage DNS**, you can add, edit, or delete DNS records. See the [DNS records](/web-hosting/dns) guide.
