This domain : www.php-developer.org is used to be hosted by Blogger. But since I change my mind, Blogger cannot support all the features I need, this is the time to upgrade hosting. The domain is registered with Network solutions. To move the hosting from Blogger to Agility Hoster, I need to change the DNS settings in order for the website to properly function (this is a requirement). But I find the name server settings a bit confusing at Network solutions.
They currently offers 2 ways to change DNS (Domain name server) settings:
1. Move Domain Name Servers
2. Advance DNS Manager
Do not use the advance DNS manager to change name server settings, instead use the first one. When you click on that, it will ask you for two boxes for which you will fill up the two name server data corresponding to the hosting company. For example with Agility Hoster, it is :
Nameserver 1: ns1.agilityhoster.com
Nameserver 2: ns2.agilityhoster.com
Refer to the screen shot above. After you proceed with changing DNS, your site will be temporarily down because of DNS propagation which can take around 24 hours to 72 hours.

Hello Erick,
Sorry for my late reply, I was fixing a bug in my comment template. Anyway did you resolved this problem? If not,follow this simple procedure (This is updated since Network solutions change the style of their website):
Step 1: Login to network solutions-> manage all services
Step 2: Below “..your products previously called”…. find the word “domain” and click it
Step 3: Under “your services”, depending on the number of domain your registered with network solutions, for example if I have one domain, click the link “Manage it” besides “You have 1 domain name”.
Step 4: Under “domain currently points to”, click “edit”
Step 5: CLick “Manage Advanced DNS Records”
Step 6: In the Advanced DNS Records, you can then find two records: IP address and CNAME.
Step 7: Change all “numeric IP” to none (A-records), all items (www,@, * all others) under “Numeric IP” should be set to NONE
Step 8: In the cname records: set,
alias -> www
TTL -> 7200
Step 9: Check or select other host and put :
ghs.google.com.
VERY IMPORTANT:the dot in the last should be included (i mean after .com)
Step 10: Click OK.
