Description:
Changing nameservers may impact the availability of your domain so should only be completed if you fully understand the implications and risks in making the change. An incorrect change could stop any services associated with your domain from working.
To change the nameservers:
- Logon to the Client Portal
- Click 'Services' then 'Domains'
- Click on the domain in the list
- On the 'Domain Details' page scroll down to 'Nameservers'
- Click the 'Nameservers' link
- Next to 'General Settings' select 'Custom' then enter the required nameservers*
- Click 'Save Changes'
After making the change it may take 24 - 48 hours for the new nameservers to be used from all locations across the Internet due to a process known as propagation.
*When editing the nameservers please note:
- Make a record of the current settings should you need to revert the change
- Remove all existing nameservers / nameserver IP addresses first, then replace with the new nameservers
- The 'Nameserver IP' fields are optional and should not be specified unless there is a specific reason to do so.
- Only click 'Save Changes' once you have made the necessary changes and are sure they are correct
