How to Add a Name Server to cPanel 11.25

Changes to your website's DNS can take 24 hours to propagate.

Nameservers translate your domain name and hostname to a corresponding IP address. This process allows people to find your website by simply typing your website's URL into their browser. You can add or change your website's nameservers on your website's server by logging into cPanel. Version 11.25 of cPanel requires you to add your nameservers through the cPanel WebHost Manager. If your web host has disabled the WebHost Manager, contact your domain name registrar to change your nameservers.

Instructions

1. Log in to your website's cPanel WebHost Manager, using the link, user name and password provided by your Web hosting company.

2. Locate the "DNS Functions" heading on the left menu.

3. Click the "Edit DNS Zone" link.

4. Select your domain name from the list, and click the "Edit" button.

5. Scroll down to the bottom of the page. Locate the "Add New Entries Below this Line" section. Enter your new nameserver into the text box. Your nameserver should be similar to "ns1.yourdomain.com" or "ns2.yourdomain.com."

6. Click the "Select" drop-down box and choose "NS." Click the "Save" button.

7. Wait for the modifications to your "DNS Zone" to be completed. This process will take less than a minute. You will receive a message that lets you know your settings have been updated. Allow 24 to 48 hours for DNS changes to take effect.
