Before you start

Make sure you have the nameserver addresses from your hosting provider. Nameservers always come in pairs — you need at least two.

Step-by-step

  1. Log in to your NameBright account .

  2. Click My Domains in the top navigation.

  3. Find the domain you want to update and click its name to open the domain detail page.

  4. Scroll to the Nameservers section and click Edit .

  5. Replace the existing nameserver values with the ones from your hosting provider.

  6. Click Save Changes .

Verifying the change

After saving, your new nameservers should appear immediately in the NameBright panel. To verify they have propagated to the public DNS:

Run a DNS lookup from any public tool (Google's dig command works well): 

dig NS yourdomain.com +short

You should see the new nameserver values returned within a few hours.

Reverting a change

If something went wrong, you can go back to the previous nameservers at any time using the same Edit flow. NameBright does not store a history of nameserver changes, so keep a note of your previous values before switching.
