DNS:
Our DNS (Domain Name Servers) is where you or your registrar points your domain name. When hosting with HRC4 please use:

• Primary Name Server: NS1.HRC4.NET  Primary Name Server IP: 66.232.56.40
• Secondary Name Server: NS2.HRC4.NET  Secondary Name Server IP: 66.232.56.48


Not all Registrars require the entry of IP addresses.

Email Settings:
Incoming Email - POP3:
Login to your HRC4 Control Panel to configure services. When you create your account a single POP3 box is created (webmaster@yourdomin). Additional POP3s, Mail Forward and Auto Responders can be created or re-configured there. Set POP3 (incoming mail) to mail.yourdomainname.com (or the correct TLD extension). If you need help setting your mail client program please click the email client you use.

Using Your ISP or other Web-based Email:
Your current Internet Service Provider (Dialup, DSL or Cable Service) has provided you with an email address. You can continue to use that single address to check your mail. In your (the HRC4) Control Panel under the Email icon create a single "mail forward" address and set the "catch all" switch to ON. All email arriving at your domain name will forward to any email address you choose. (ie, webmaster@yourdomain.com forwards to yourname@serviceprovider.net or yourname@hotmail.com)
