Changing nameservers is essential when moving your website to a new hosting provider or setting up custom DNS settings. This guide will walk you through the process of updating nameservers via the YesDomain Client Area.
What Are Nameservers?
Nameservers are responsible for directing your domain to the correct hosting server. If you’re switching to a new hosting provider, you must update your nameservers accordingly.
For example, your new hosting provider might give you nameservers like:
ns1.examplehost.com
ns2.examplehost.com
You need to replace your current nameservers with the new ones to ensure your domain points to the correct server.
