Changing Nameservers

What Are Nameservers?

Nameservers tell the internet where your website is hosted. Changing them points your domain to a different hosting provider.

How to Change

  1. Go to My Services > Domains > [domain]
  2. Click the Nameservers tab
  3. Replace existing nameservers with new ones
  4. Click Save

Finding Your Hosting Nameservers

Go to My Services > Hosting > [hosting] and look for the "Point Your Domain" section. Your nameservers are listed there.

Propagation

After changing nameservers, it takes 1-48 hours for the change to propagate worldwide. During this time, your website may be intermittently available.

Common Nameserver Formats

  • ns1.example.com / ns2.example.com
  • Usually provided as a pair (minimum 2 required)
