How to Change/Update Domain Nameservers

Hello, welcome to our today’s knowledgebase on how to change and update your Domain Nameservers (DNS Records). The major reason you might want to do this might be because you want to point your domain registered with us to another hosting account or vice-versa.

To begin,

1. Log in to your account

Visit your client area/dashboard by login into your hosting account on WebManager.NG.

When you are logged in, click on the Domains menu and click the My Domains sub-menu. Just as seen below, it will take you to the list of your domains with us.
