Updating your domain nameservers allows you to point your domain to the DNS servers used by your hosting or DNS provider.

The exact steps vary depending on where your domain is registered, but the general process is usually similar.

To update your nameservers:

1. Log in to the account where your domain is registered.

2. Open the domain management area.

3. Select the domain you want to update.

4. Locate the DNS, Nameservers or Domain Settings section.

5. Choose the option to use custom nameservers.

6. Enter the nameservers provided for your hosting or DNS service.

7. Save the changes.

After updating the nameservers

Nameserver changes are not always visible immediately.

DNS propagation may begin within a few minutes, but in some cases it can take up to 24–48 hours for cached DNS information to update across different networks and resolvers.

During propagation, some users may temporarily reach the old destination while others reach the new one.

Important

Before changing nameservers, make sure you have the correct nameserver values for the service you want to use.

Changing nameservers can affect website, email and other DNS-based services if the required DNS records are not configured correctly at the new DNS provider.

If your domain uses external email, custom DNS records or other third-party services, review the required DNS configuration before making changes.
