Change your nameservers
Point your domain to a hosting provider, DNX DNS, or a domain sales page.
Before you start
- Have the nameservers supplied by your hosting or DNS provider ready.
- Changing nameservers can affect your website and email. Make sure the required DNS records exist with the new provider before you switch.

Click the Nameservers tab
Click Nameservers above the domain settings. You will see the current nameservers and an optional preset picker.
The Nameservers tab contains your provider preset and individual nameserver fields. - 3
Choose a preset or enter your nameservers
Open Preset (Optional) and choose your provider. DNX DNS uses ns1.dnxdns.com and ns2.dnxdns.com. DNX Landers uses ns1.dnx.com and ns2.dnx.com. You can search the list to find other providers or a preset you saved.
For a provider that is not listed, enter the hostnames in Nameserver 1 and Nameserver 2. Click Add Nameserver if your provider supplies more. Enter the nameserver hostnames, without https:// or a page path.
Choose a preset to fill in the provider’s nameservers. - 4
Save your changes
Check the complete list, then click Save Nameservers. If a review or validation message appears, check the details before confirming. Stay on the page until the operation status tells you what happened.
Save Nameservers applies your changes. The page notes that changes can take up to 48 hours. - 5
Allow time for the change to take effect
The nameserver page notes that changes can take up to 48 hours. After the change completes, reopen Nameservers to check the saved values. Test your website and email once the new DNS service is active.
What happens next
Your domain uses the nameservers shown in its saved settings. Your website and email records are now managed by the DNS provider behind those nameservers.

Why is Save Nameservers disabled?
The button is disabled when there is no change to save. Check that you changed a nameserver or selected a different preset.
Which DNX preset should I use?
Choose DNX DNS to manage DNS records with DNX. Choose DNX Landers when connecting a domain to a DNX lander group.
My website or email stopped working
Check that the new DNS provider has all the records your services need. Review the saved nameservers and any operation message before trying again.
