How to Change Domain Nameservers
Nameservers connect your domain name to your hosting server. Updating nameservers is required when moving your website to a new hosting provider.
Before You Begin
- Obtain your hosting provider’s nameservers.
- Ensure your hosting account is active.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Log into your domain registrar account.
- Navigate to Domain Management.
- Select the domain you wish to update.
- Click Nameserver Settings.
- Choose Custom Nameservers.
- Enter the provided nameservers (e.g., ns1.yourhost.com, ns2.yourhost.com).
- Save changes.
Propagation Time
DNS changes may take 1–24 hours to fully propagate worldwide.
Troubleshooting
- Clear browser cache.
- Flush local DNS cache.
- Use online DNS checker tools to verify propagation.
Once propagation completes, your domain will point to your hosting account.
