Do NOT change Nameservers (NS). All domains usually have at least two Nameservers that look like:
dns1.registrar-servers.com
dns2.registrar-servers.com
Leave them unchanged.
Some registrars do not provide the NS service by default, or it is available for an additional fee.
dns1.registrar-servers.com
dns2.registrar-servers.com
Leave them unchanged.
Some registrars do not provide the NS service by default, or it is available for an additional fee.
Please note that it may take up to 24 hours after you have modified the domain name records in the DNS zone for the updates to propagate across the Internet.
If your registrar is not listed, please fill out the form so we can add a guide to it.
