How do I change the nameservers that my domain is using?

Please keep in mind that you only can change nameservers via us for domains registered through us. If you’re unsure about where you’ve registered your domain, follow these instructions to find out. If the domain isn’t registered via us, contact the correct registrar for help and instructions.

The name servers for a domain tells the rest of the Internet where to find information regarding towards what servers a domain is pointing. Sometimes you need to edit the name servers, e.g. if you’ve changed service provider or wish to use a specific feature from a service. This guide will tell you how to edit the name servers being used by a domain registered via us.

Some country code top-level domains (ccTLDs), such as .de require that DNS records for the domain already exist before a nameserver change is possible. If you have not set up DNS records in the new nameservers, a change to them will not be possible. This means that if you want to change to our nameservers, you have to add the domain to a web hosting account first.

Certain ccTLDs, such as .dk, may have other routines for nameserver changes than the ones described below. For the mentioned .dk, you have to log on at Punktum dk to make updates.

Please note that a nameserver change may take up to 48 hours to propagate over the entire Internet.

1. Begin by logging on to our Client Area.
2. Click Domains under Services in the menu to the left.
   
3. You now reach the management page for domains registered with us. Click on All Domains at the top to see all your domain names.
   
4. Click View to the right on the line concerning the domain for which you wish to change the nameservers.
   
5. At the top of the page you now land on you’ll see a couple of tabs, click on the one saying Nameservers.
   
6. Here you may edit the nameservers. If you want to use our nameservers (dns1.oderland.com, dns2.oderland.com and dns3.oderland.com), select Oderland Nameservers. If you wish to use nameservers from some other provider, select Custom Nameservers and enter them in the fields.
   
   Click the Update Nameservers button once you’re done.

If you end up on a blank page when trying to save the nameservers, please send an email to support@oderland.se with information mentioning which domain you wish to change nameservers for, and what nameservers you entered.
