How to Change Your Domain Nameservers
Changing your domain nameservers allows you to point your domain to a different hosting provider.
If you are hosting your website with CJS Host, you may need to update your domain's nameservers to the nameservers provided by CJS Host.
Before changing your nameservers
Make sure you have:
-
Access to your domain registrar
-
Your domain name
-
The correct CJS Host nameservers
You can find the correct nameservers in your CJS Host welcome email or Client Area.
Step 1: Log in to your domain registrar
Log in to the company where your domain is registered.
Step 2: Open your domain settings
Find your domain and open its management settings.
Look for an option such as:
-
Nameservers
-
DNS Settings
-
Manage DNS
-
Custom Nameservers
The exact name depends on your domain registrar.
Step 3: Enter the CJS Host nameservers
Remove the old nameservers and enter the CJS Host nameservers provided for your hosting account.
Make sure they are entered correctly.
Step 4: Save the changes
Save or confirm the nameserver changes.
Step 5: Wait for propagation
Nameserver changes may take time to propagate.
During this period, your website may temporarily behave differently depending on the network being used.
Important
Do not change individual DNS records unless you know what you are doing.
Changing the wrong DNS records can affect:
-
Your website
-
Business email
-
Subdomains
-
Other online services
If you are unsure, contact CJS Host support.
