Each domain registered with WHC can be managed using the Domain Management tools available in your Client Area. These tools include Domain Forwarding and Email Forwarding. In this article, we’ll review each in detail. To manage your domain's DNS records, see how to update your domain's DNS records.
If you’re actively using the Domain Manager and would like to make changes to your domains from your Client Area, you will need to update your domain’s nameservers for these changes to take effect.
For your reference, the WHC parking nameservers are:
parking1.whc.ca & parking2.whc.ca
For domains registered with us, you can easily update the nameservers directly from your Client Area by using the Name server wizard. If your domain is not registered with WHC, you can contact our support team.
