I've been trying to change my nameservers using Ionos.com because I recently bought my own domain. I've been trying to link the domain to a 3rd party hosting site x10hosting.com
I've had no luck finding any way to change it, please help.
When you register a new domain, it is pointed to a default nameservers by the domain registrar.
You can edit the domain nameservers to point to your hosting provider.
To edit IONOS nameservers, follow the below steps.
The domain NS management is located within the Domain Management Dashboard.
Here is how to locate it when you are logged into your IONOS account.
Click on the Manage Domain link for the domain listed that you wish to set the nameservers. This leads you to the domains overview page
Click the Name Server tab along the top. You’ll then be presented with the list of name server entries actively in use.
Click the Use Custom Nameservers button. This will lead to a page with four text boxes for name server entry.
Enter the nameservers you want to use in the first and second boxes. The third and fourth boxes are optional and do not need any data entered. Click Save when finished.
Upon successful change, you’ll see a green notification stating that it was successful. It also advises about the standard DNS Propagation time.
If you receive any error messages while attempting to modify your nameservers, make sure there is no extra white-space (such as a space character, or a tab character) that made it into the box with your nameserver entry. This will cause an error with most registrars.
Keep in mind, DNS nameserver changes like this can take up to 24 – 48 hours to globally propagate.
