How to Change Nameservers

Changing nameservers is one of the most common tasks in domain management, especially when connecting your domain to a hosting provider.

Nameservers tell your domain where to find DNS records. When you switch hosting providers, you’ll usually need to update them.

To change nameservers:

1. Log in to your domain registrar account
2. Find your domain and open its settings
3. Locate the “Nameservers” section
4. Replace the existing nameservers with the new ones
5. Save the changes

After updating, it may take some time for the changes to fully apply across the internet. This delay is known as DNS propagation, and it can take anywhere from a few minutes to 24–48 hours.

During this period, some users may see the old website while others see the new one. This is completely normal.

Once propagation is complete, your domain will be fully connected to your hosting service.
