follow when updating your domain nameservers:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Identify Your New Nameservers:<\/strong> Your hosting provider will supply the appropriate nameservers. For instance, telaHosting offers <code>ns1.tela-host.com<\/code> and <code>ns2.tela-host.com<\/code> for cPanel hosting, or <code>da1.tela-host.com<\/code> and <code>da2.tela-host.com<\/code> for DirectAdmin hosting. These can typically be found in your welcome email once you have purchased any <a href=\"https:\/\/telahosting.ng\/blog\/upgrade-your-hosting-plan-for-a-growing-websites-success\/\">hosting plan<\/a> with us.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Access Your Domain Registrar Account:<\/strong> Log in to the platform where your domain is registered, such as telaHosting, GoDaddy, or Namecheap.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Locate the Nameserver Configuration:<\/strong> Navigate to a section labeled \u201cDNS Management,\u201d \u201cNameservers,\u201d or \u201cDomain Settings\u201d within your registrar\u2019s dashboard.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Input the New Nameservers:<\/strong> Replace the existing nameservers with the ones provided by your hosting provider (e.g., <code>ns1.tela-host.com<\/code> and <code>ns2.tela-host.com<\/code> for telaHosting cPanel hosting).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Save and Await DNS Propagation:<\/strong> DNS updates may take between 24 and 48 hours to propagate fully. During this time, some users might still see the old site while others access the new one.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Confirm the Update:<\/strong> After a few hours, use tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/whois.domaintools.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">whois.domaintools.com<\/a> or the <code>nslookup<\/code> command to verify that the nameservers have been updated.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Precautions_Before_Making_Changes\"><\/span>Key Precautions Before Making Changes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Preserve DNS Records:<\/strong> If your current nameservers handle DNS entries (such as MX records for email or subdomains), document them beforehand. You may need to replicate these records after the update.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduce Downtime Risks:<\/strong> Propagation delays can lead to temporary inconsistencies. To mitigate this, perform updates during periods of low <a href=\"https:\/\/telahosting.ng\/blog\/the-ultimate-website-traffic-optimization-guide\/\">website traffic<\/a>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Safeguard Email Functionality:<\/strong> If your domain supports email services (e.g., via Google Workspace), configure the MX records with your new provider prior to updating nameservers to prevent interruptions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Updating_Nameservers_with_telaHosting\"><\/span>Updating Nameservers with telaHosting<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>telaHosting provides specific nameservers based on your hosting panel:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>For cPanel hosting: Use <code>ns1.tela-host.com<\/code> and <code>ns2.tela-host.com<\/code>.<\/li>\n<li>For DirectAdmin hosting: Use <code>da1.tela-host.com<\/code> and <code>da2.tela-host.com<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If your domain is registered with telaHosting, follow these steps to update your nameservers:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Retrieve telaHosting Nameservers:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/my.telahosting.com\/clientarea.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Log in to your telaHosting account<\/a> and check your hosting details.
