Updating NS Records on Popular Registrar

Overview

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for updating your domain’s Nameserver (NS) records across several popular registrars.
Since registrar interfaces may vary or change over time, use these instructions as a general reference when configuring your VergeCloud Nameservers.

Important:
If your domain has DNSSEC enabled, disable it before updating to custom nameservers. Otherwise, your domain may fail to resolve correctly after the changes. Also, note that propagating DNS changes may temporarily cause inconsistent access, so avoid making other DNS changes during this period.

DNS Propagation

After updating your nameservers and disabling DNSSEC, it may take up to 24–48 hours for changes to fully propagate globally. During this time, your domain may temporarily resolve to either the old or new nameservers.

You can verify propagation using:
Online: dnschecker.org
Terminal command: dig NS yourdomain.com

Once propagation is complete, your domain will be fully active with VergeCloud’s DNS services, and you can begin using all VergeCloud features such as CDN, security, and Smart Checker monitoring.

Best Practice Tips:

  1. Avoid updating other DNS records during propagation to prevent conflicts.
  2. Regularly verify DNS resolution using both online and terminal-based tools to ensure consistent global access.
