Updating DNS Nameservers
Nameservers are essential for directing your domain to the correct hosting server.
What are Nameservers?
Nameservers are like the internet's phone book, telling browsers where to find your website. Our nameservers are:
ns1.bhost.com
ns2.bhost.com
How to Update Nameservers
For New Domains:
- Purchase domain through our system
- Nameservers are automatically set
- No action required
For Existing Domains:
- Log in to your domain registrar's control panel
- Navigate to DNS or Nameserver settings
- Replace existing nameservers with:
ns1.bhost.com
ns2.bhost.com
- Save changes
Propagation Time
DNS changes typically take 24-48 hours to fully propagate worldwide. During this time:
- Some visitors may see old site
- Some may see new site
- This is normal during propagation
