Domain Names
Your website can be hosted on under a single primary domain name (i.e. mydomain.com) with optional domain aliases (i.e. mydomain.net, mydomain.org, myotherdomain.com).
If you have not already registered your domain name, you may do so by visiting our eNom registration page. Your domain(s) will be registered in your name and you will retain full ownership and control.
If you already have your domain(s) registered elsewhere you can transfer them to eNom or keep them at your current registrar and simply change the nameservers to ns.rackspace.com and ns2.rackspace.com.
