How do I switch my Summit Internet DNS hosting over to VentraIP DNS hosting?

As of Wednesday 25th July 2018 all Summit Internet DNS hosting will be served by VentraIP’s infrastructure. This will affect any customers using the nameservers ns*.summitdns.com.au. All DNS resolution will continue to work as normal once it has been transitioned however please note that as of the 25th of July 2018 you will no longer be able to manage your DNS records via your Summit Internet control panel.

If you would like to use VentraIP’s Free DNS Hosting platform to manage your records you will first need to ensure your domain registration is with us. If it is not, then you can transfer your domain to us. Once the domain is in your VIPcontrol account you can go to Domain names > Manage > Click the domain to open the drop-down menu > Manage DNS. You will notice that the domain’s nameservers are showing ns*.summitdns.com.au. If you select the Free DNS Hosting option the system should display your Free DNS records for you to manage as normal.

If you’re unsure on how to make these changes please don’t hesitate to contact our 24/7 technical support department via phone or using the eTicket contact centre should you have an existing account with us.
