#3 You have the option of having NB or your domain name provider (e.g. Whois or Hostgator) manage your League's domain. Read the information in the blue box to help you decide. NOTE: you can come back later if you change your mind.

Log into your League's domain provider to add the six required values. Go to Step #5.

#5 After a couple hours, scroll down the domain settings page and check to see whether the Required values and Current values match. Refresh the screen as needed.  When they match, follow the instructions in the blue box.

Note the "Remove domain" button at the bottom right.  Click this if you want to change your domain manager.
