I signed up for my plan more than 72 hours ago. Why is my domain still pending?

When you choose to use a domain you already own with Yahoo!, your domain will need to be redelegated to Yahoo!'s name servers within 15 days of your order. The process varies depending on where you originally registered your web address. Make sure you have taken the appropriate steps to redelegate your name servers.

Network Solutions
If you registered your domain through Network Solutions, a transfer request was sent to the administrative contact for your domain. If you or your administrative contact haven't received a transfer request from Network Solutions, you'll need to update the contact information for your domain at Network Solutions. Once the administrative contact information is updated, please notify us. A new transfer request will be sent to your administrative contact.

WorldNIC
If your domain was registered using Network Solutions' WorldNIC services, you'll need to update the name servers for your domain at Network Solutions. Please make the following changes for your domain:

  • Direct the primary name server to yns1.yahoo.com
  • Direct the secondary name server to yns2.yahoo.com
  • Direct the primary IP address to 66.218.71.205 (may not be required)
  • Direct the secondary IP address to 66.196.84.168 (may not be required)

Once you've completed the changes above, please allow up to 72 hours for the changes to take effect. We will notify you when your account is ready to use.

Other Registrars
If your domain was registered through a different registrar, you'll need to make the following changes for your domain:

  • Direct the primary name server to yns1.yahoo.com
  • Direct the secondary name server to yns2.yahoo.com
  • Direct the primary IP address to 66.218.71.205 (may not be required)
  • Direct the secondary IP address to 66.196.84.168 (may not be required)

Once you've completed the changes above, please allow up to 72 hours for the changes to take effect. We will notify you when your account is ready to use.
