Changing nameservers and pointing a domain to your server

Nameservers decide who manages your domain's DNS records, and they send visitors and email to the right place.

1. 1
   Step 1

   Open the domain

   In Domains → Domain Portfolio, open your domain. Domain Overview shows the current nameservers.

   
2. 2
   Step 2

   Edit the nameservers

   Open DNS / Nameservers, enter at least two nameservers (NS1 and NS2; the rest are optional), then press Save nameservers. The registrar's current answer is shown below.

   

   Note

   Wrong nameservers stop both the website and email. Changes can take up to 48 hours to spread.

   Step 3

   Connecting to SNG web hosting

   If the domain is for SNG web hosting, follow the Web hosting: setting up a website and connecting a domain guide. DNS records are managed from the hosting tools.

   Pointing to a VPS

   At the DNS provider your nameservers point to (for example Cloudflare), add an A record with the name @ and your server's IP address as the value, plus another A record named www if you need it. The IP address is on the server page.
