In short: Nameservers decide where your website and email are hosted. To change them: Domains → My Domains → click the domain → “Nameservers”, choose “Use custom nameservers” and enter the new ones, then “Change Nameservers”. Our nameservers are r71.hyyat4host.com and r72.hyyat4host.com. The change usually spreads within 24 hours.

What are nameservers? #
When a visitor types your domain, the nameservers tell them where its records live, so they reach the hosting server that shows your site and receives your email. Changing them moves your website and email together to the new place.
When do you need to change them? #
- You moved your site to our hosting: use
r71.hyyat4host.comandr72.hyyat4host.com; these are the “default nameservers”. - Your site is hosted elsewhere: enter the nameservers that host gave you.
- You have your own server or reseller account: you can use private nameservers on your domain.
How to change nameservers #
- Log in to the client area with your email and password, or with the Google account linked to it.
- Open Domains → My Domains and click the domain you want.
- In the “Manage” sidebar, choose Nameservers.
- For our hosting, choose Use default nameservers. Otherwise choose Use custom nameservers (enter below) and fill at least Nameserver 1 and 2.
- Click Change Nameservers.
Note: after the change your old DNS records stop applying, because the domain now reads its records from the new place. Make sure your site and email are ready there first.

Nameservers vs DNS records? #
Nameservers say where the records live; records say where your site and email point. See managing DNS records.
Does it affect lock or renewal? #
No. The domain stays registered with us as it is.
