White Label Domain Mapping

Updating name servers for your domain is a fundamental step in directing it to the desired hosting provider or server. Follow these steps to successfully update name servers:

Step 1: Log into Your Domain Registrar’s Account

Start by logging into the account with the domain registrar where your domain is registered. This is typically the platform where you initially purchased or registered your domain.

Step 2: Locate Your Domain Management Panel

Once logged in, navigate to the domain management panel. This is where you’ll find all the settings related to your domain.

Step 3: Locate the Name Server Settings

Look for an option labeled “Name Servers” or “DNS Settings” in your domain management panel. This is where you’ll make the necessary updates.

Step 4: Select Custom Name Servers

Choose the option that allows you to enter custom name servers. By default, the registrar may use its own name servers. You’ll want to use custom ones provided by your hosting provider.

Step 5: Enter the New Name Server Information

Input the name servers

  • ns1.serverhostgroup.com
  • ns2.serverhostgroup.com
  • ns3.serverhostgroup.com 

Step 6: Save Changes

After entering the new name server information, be sure to save the changes. The registrar will confirm that your settings have been updated.

Step 7: Allow Time for Propagation

It may take up to 48 hours for the name server changes to fully propagate across the internet. During this time, some users may still see the old version of your site.

Additional Tips:

  • Backup Your DNS Settings: Before making any changes, it’s a good practice to take a screenshot or make a note of your current DNS settings. This can be helpful in case you need to revert the changes.
  • Check TTL (Time to Live): Consider lowering the TTL value in advance. This will help the DNS changes propagate faster.
  • Be Patient: DNS propagation can take time. It’s normal for changes to take a while to fully take effect.

Conclusion

Updating name servers is a crucial step in directing your domain to the correct hosting provider. By following these steps and being patient during the propagation period, you can ensure a smooth transition. If you encounter any issues, don’t hesitate to reach out to your domain registrar or hosting provider for assistance.
