Click the Domains icon and choose the domain you wish to manage

Click Nameservers in the Current Domain menu on the left

In the Primary field under Hostname enter the first nameserver address (nameserver addresses typically start with ns0. or ns1.)

In the Secondary field under Hostname enter your second nameserver address

The IP Address field is optional, you can leave this blank

Click Update and allow up to 48 hours for the changes to take effect

Note

Your nameserver changes will normally complete within a few hours, however it can take up to 48 hours for your changes to update globally.

Warning

If you are using any of our Web Hosting or Email forwarding services, we do not recommend changing your nameservers as these services will no longer function.
