If you registered your domain name with another provider, you can still purchase a website with us, use our Off-site DNS services. If you do any of those, you must view your nameservers in your account with us, and then set the nameservers with your domain name registrar.

Setting Nameservers for a Domain Name Registered with GoDaddy

If your domain name is registered GoDaddy, use the following instructions to update its nameservers depending how you use or host the domain name

To Set Nameservers for a Domain Name Registered with GoDaddy

Log in to your Account Manager
Next to Domains,click Launch
Select the domain name(s) you want to modify.
From (Nameservers), select Set Nameservers
Select one of the following:
- I have specific nameservers for my domains—This option indicates that you are hosting your domain name with another company (enter the two or more nameservers your hosting provider gave you), or you have custom nameservers you want to use for this domain name.
  
  NOTE: You must enter at least two nameservers. After you set third-party nameservers and the DNS propagates, you can no longer manage your domain name's DNS in our system and must contact your third-party provider to do so.

Beginner's Guide

The articles in this section make up the Beginner's Guide to MYL. If you're just getting started, we recommend taking time to go through each of these short articles. By the time you're done, you'll be ready to build a great first site.

First Steps

MYL is the easiest way to build a website for you by you. But that doesn't mean you can't use some help getting to know your way around. All the basics you need in order to put together your site can be found over these next several pages and it will take few minutes to read this guide

The Web Address

Every site must also have an address (like www.MYL.com for example) so that your visitors can find it.

You have three options for choosing an address, and the address, like the title, can be very easily changed at any time:

New Domain - If you want your own personal domain, you can pay to register it with this option.
Use Existing Domain - Free! If you already own a domain that you've previously purchased through MYL or another provider, you can enter it here.
Sub Domain - Free!This is an address like yoursite.themyl.com. Completely free to use.

Tools

Tools are the basic building blocks of your site. All of your site content, be it text, pictures, videos or what have you, is added via tools.

Pages

Our site can have as many pages and sub-pages as you want, since there are no page limits for either free or paid accounts.

Design

You can select from any one of a number of themes and switch to a different theme at any time. This affects the look of your site. All of your pages and elements remain in place, no matter what theme you choose. We'll switch themes and take a close look at the theme options (like changing fonts) towards the end of the guide.

First Elements: Add Text Your Site

First Elements: Add Image Your Site

There are four elements that can be used to add images to a site:

Paragraph With Title and Image element

Image element in multimedia tool - upload one image per element.
Photo Gallery element in Website Settings & Widget - upload as many pictures as you like to create a photo gallery

Paragraph With Title and Image & Paragraph With Image element can be added by clicking General tools button in Tools.

Adding any image element to your site works the same way as adding a text element - just drag it to the page. You can upload an image from your computer by clicking on UPLOAD NEW PHOTO. Doing so opens a file browser on the computer through which an image can be selected.

There are a number of different ways to change and edit an uploaded image.

Replace the current image with a new one.
Re-size images by clicking and dragging the box found on the lower-right-corner of each.

Switch Themes

Edit Your Header

A lot of our themes include an area for a header image (you'll know your theme includes this if there's a default image at the top of theme). As it's doubtful you'll want to use the default image on any of your pages, we've built an easy to use header creation tool so you can make your own header.

Note that if your theme does not have a default header image, you won't be able to use this feature unless you select another theme.

To get started, scroll over the header image and click the Edit button.

The following page will be displayed in which u can upload a header image of your choice by clicking the UPLOAD NEW PHOTO button.

Slide Image Size should be 960x350 and Header Image Size Should be 960x2.There are four options to edit header type - Slider,Header Image, Custom Flash and Copy Slider.In slider option you can upload no. of images for making the header as slider, by selecting Header image you can change the default header image of your theme.In custom flash you can upload a flash and by selecting copy slider you can copy a slider from any page of your website like Home, About us, Services etc.

If you directly wants to delete the default image.Click the image and then click the red X in the corner to do so.

To add a new image go to the Tools and select Website Settings & Widget button.

The following options will be displayed,select Header/Slider option to edit header type.

Site Headers

All of our themes have a place for your site's title and most of them have a default area for a header image that displays across the top of your website.

Site Logo

Every site has a logo, you can change the default logo anytime by clicking on Style and selecting Change Logo.

You can also change logo by clicking on Website Settings & Widget tab in Tools and selecting logo option.

Every MYL template has a logo, you can change the default logo anytime by clicking on Style and selecting Change Logo. You can also change logo by clicking on Website Settings & Widget tab in Tools and selecting logo option. With MYL templates you can use three types of logo i.e. Image, Flash or Text logo.

1. Image logo - You can upload an image from your computer by clicking on Upload New Logo or Browse My photos. The image must be a JPEG (JPG), GIF or PNG. If you don't know the difference, don't worry: most images are JPGs so this is not something you'll likely have to give much thought.

2. Flash logo - This option gives u flash or blinking logo which can make your site looks more better. You can upload an image from your computer by clicking on Upload New Logo or Browse My photos. This option only allows .swf images to upload.

3. Text logo - Write logo in your own words. You can change its style, size, color and formatting . Keep in mind that every theme has a set amount space available for a logo image. And the logo will be automatically resized to fit in this area. Aside from altering the CSS to provide more space (which you should only do if you're experienced with HTML), there is no way to change the amount of space an individual theme provides for a logo image.
