Hosting at DH, domain registration elsewhere

Hi,

I have a domain registered elsewhere and I want to host it with Dreamhost. (It's an .au domain which Dreamhost doesn't register.)

At my registrar, they have a form with a section called "Delegation details" - "Delegate your existing Name Server for your domain name". Do I just need to insert the Dreamhost nameservers and delete the existing ones there?

thanks,
Brianna

Yep. Then all you need to do is to either add the domain here through the panel or just add a "easy" one-click install.
