How to change Name Servers

To delegate a domain to different name servers please follow these steps:

- Log in to your account
- Go to "My Registered Domain(s)"
- Click on the domain name you wish to modify
- Under the heading "Domain Nameserver Details" select the 'Delegate to Your Name Servers' option.
- Enter the new nameservers (be sure to 'Add' after entering each name server).
- Click the 'Delegate to Your Name Servers' button and then 'Update Domain' at the next screen

PLEASE ALLOW 24-48HRS FOR GLOBAL PROPAGATION BEFORE MAKING ANY FURTHER MODIFICATIONS

N.B. some ccTLD modification will attract a Registry Modification Charge and may be required to undergo a Configuration Test. If your DNS are not configured to registry specifications, your domain will not be delegated.

**Please note that the name servers you use must contain the zone records relevant for all services hosted at your domain - website, email and otherwise. Delegating to name servers that do not contain all necessary records will therefore result in downtime for one or more of the services at your domain. If you are integrating services from one or more hosting providers please bear this in mind.

- At the next screen ensure the list of domains is correct and you have not selected any domain in error
- Select the 'Delegate to Other Name servers' option
- Enter the first two hosts and 'Add', then enter any further hosts needed and 'Add' until the full set of name servers you are delgating to is listed
