1. BenI don't have the option to "Edit nameservers" on the domain I'm working on. Is there a reason why I don't have that option? Or another way to access that area?
2. Elite Hello Ben. If you're not able to view the tool "Edit nameservers" for a domain, this means that the domain is not registered through Media Temple. You will need to edit the nameservers with the current registrar.
