If you have been given two or three new name servers to assign to your domain (e.g. ns1.yourhostingprovider.com etc.), take the following steps to assign them to your domain:
NOTE: Changing nameservers will affect the routing of all services for your domain. Ensure that all services for your domain (your website, your email etc.) are taken into account before switching. If you currently have email services with Webnames.ca and would like to continue using them, please see this page before updating your name servers.
Navigate to My Account > Manage > Domains
Click on the domain in question
Under the Domain Configuration heading, beside Assign Name Servers, click the click Configure button
Enter in the name servers to assign to your domain.
Note a minimum of two different name servers need to be assigned to your domain.
Click Apply to save your changes.
Optionally, you may save these name server assignments under a profile name for later re-use on other domains.
NOTE: After changing name servers, please allow up to one hour for the change to propagate across the Internet.
NOTE: A minimum of two unique name servers are required. If you are unsure as to what name servers should be used, review the instructions which have been given by your new provider, consult the online help of your new provider, or contact the support team of your new provider for guidance.
NOTE: The name sever fields on this page are intentionally blank if the associated domain is currently using a Webnames service which requires the use of Webnames name servers to function properly. Populate the name server fields on this page only if you wish to switch the DNS service provider for the entirety of your domain. Generally, if you are switching service providers and your new service provider has instructed you to change your domain's name servers, then it is safe (and necessary) to do so.
