What are 3rd Party Name Servers?
Third party name servers refer to any name servers apart from the Domainmonster.com name servers.
Typically these name servers are provided by another company. By using 3rd party name servers, you are delegating responsibility for your domain names’ DNS management to the provider of those name servers.
Using 3rd party name servers will mean that you can no longer use our DNS Management, Web Forwarding, Email Forwarding, My Home Page or POP3 Mailbox services for the domain names in question. Management of billing, invoicing and renewal will still remain with Domainmonster.com. This is because changing your name servers does not constitute a transfer of your domain to another registrar.
