How do I change nameserver information after registration? Print

Changing nameserver information for a domain in WHMCS typically involves accessing the domain management area and updating the nameservers associated with the domain. Here are the general steps to change nameserver information in WHMCS:

1. Log in to your client portal at: https://www.durnwood.com/portal/clientarea/

2. Navigate to the Domain Management Section:

   • Look for a section or menu option related to domain management. In most cases, you'll find it in the client or domain section of the dashboard.

3. Locate the Domain You Want to Update:

   • Find the domain name for which you want to change the nameservers. This may involve searching for the domain in a list or accessing the domain details page.

4. Access Domain Details:

   • Click on the domain name to access its details or management page.

5. Edit Nameserver Information:

   • Look for an option that allows you to edit or update the nameserver information. This could be labeled as "Nameservers," "DNS Settings," "Manage Nameservers," or something similar.

6. Enter New Nameservers:

   • In the nameserver management section, you should see fields where you can input the new nameserver information. You will need to provide the nameserver hostnames (e.g., ns1.durnwood.net, ns2.durnwood.net).

7. Save Changes:

   • After entering the new nameserver information, save or update the changes. Typically, there will be a "Save," "Update," or "Change Nameservers" button to confirm the changes.

8. Verify the Update:

   • To confirm that the nameserver changes have been successfully applied, you can use online DNS lookup tools to check the DNS records for your domain. This will help verify that your domain is now pointing to the new nameservers.

9. DNS Propagation:

   • Keep in mind that DNS changes, including nameserver updates, may take some time to propagate across the internet. DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours, during which DNS records worldwide are updated to reflect the new nameservers.

10. Test Domain Functionality:

    • After DNS propagation is complete, it's a good practice to test the functionality of services associated with the domain, such as website hosting and email, to ensure they are working as expected with the new nameservers.
