How to Change Your Domain Nameservers

What are Nameservers?

Nameservers connect your domain name to your website and email services.

They tell the Internet:

“Where should this domain point?”

Without correct nameservers, your website and emails will not work.

Why Would I Change My Nameservers?

You may need to change your nameservers if:

• You moved your website to a new hosting provider

• You are using Cloudflare

• You are using a VPS or dedicated server

• You want to use custom/private nameservers

• Your hosting provider gave you new DNS servers

Before You Start

Make sure:

• Your new hosting account is active

• The new DNS servers are correct

• Your website files are already uploaded

Example of nameservers:

ns1.yourhost.com
ns2.yourhost.com
