Step 1: Log in to Your Domain Registrar's Website
Visit the website of the company where you registered your domain name. Log in to your account using your username and password.
Step 2: Access Domain Management
Once logged in, navigate to the domain management or domain settings section. This may be labeled differently depending on your registrar but generally, it's where you manage your domain settings.
Step 3: Locate DNS Settings or Name Servers
Find the section where you can manage your domain's DNS settings or name servers. This could be labeled as "DNS Management," "Name Servers," or something similar.
Step 4: Enter ServerNeed NameServer Information
In this section, you'll see the current name servers associated with your domain. Replace these with the new name server addresses provided by your hosting provider. Typically, you'll need to enter at least two name servers, and sometimes up to four. Ensure you input them correctly to avoid any issues.
ns1.serverneed.com
ns2.serverneed.com
Step 5: Save Changes
After entering the new name server information, save your changes. This might involve clicking a "Save" button or similar action, depending on your registrar's interface.
Step 6: Verify Changes
Once you've saved the changes, your domain's name servers will be updated. It may take some time for these changes to propagate across the internet, ranging from a few hours to up to 48 hours. During this period, your website may experience temporary downtime or irregular behavior.
Step 7: Confirm Name Server Update
After some time has passed, you can verify that the name server update has been successful. You can do this by performing a DNS lookup for your domain using online tools or by simply visiting your website in a web browser to see if it loads correctly.
Step 8: Test Functionality
Test various functionalities of your website to ensure everything is working as expected after the name server update. Check different pages, forms, and any other interactive elements to confirm that they function properly.
That's it! You've successfully changed your domain's name servers. Remember that DNS changes can take some time to fully propagate, so be patient and allow for this process to complete. If you encounter any issues, reach out to your domain registrar's support team for assistance.
