How to Change Your Domain’s Nameservers

Nameservers tell the internet where to find your website and email services. If you're hosting your site with Zentec or using a third-party DNS provider, you may need to update your nameservers accordingly.

Here’s how to do it in a few simple steps:

✅ Step 1: Log in to Your Zentec Client Area

 

✅ Step 2: Go to Nameserver Management

  1. On the domain management page, click Management Tools

  2. Then click Nameservers

 

✅ Step 3: Choose Your Nameserver Setup

You have two options:

  • Use Default Nameservers (recommended if you’re hosting with Zentec)
    Example: 
    ns1.zentecsolutions.ca
    ns2.zentecsolutions.ca

  • Use Custom Nameservers (if using Cloudflare, external DNS, etc.)
    Enter the full nameservers provided by the third party.

✅ Step 4: Save and Apply Changes

  • After entering the nameservers, click Save Changes

  • DNS updates can take up to 24–48 hours to fully propagate worldwide

 

⚠️ Important Notes:

  • Make sure your domain is unlocked if you're managing it at an external registrar

  • Avoid changing nameservers frequently — it can interrupt services

  • If using custom nameservers, ensure they are fully set up with the correct DNS records
