Changing your domain nameservers

Any time you make a DNS (domain name server) change it takes around 24-48 hours to complete. During this proprogation time routers all over the world are updating their cache. This causes your site to be up and down randomly during the first 48 hours for different people at different times.

Think of dns like a zip code. If you don’t put a zip code on your mail the post office doesn’t know where to send it. Domains are the same way if they don’t have the DNS the internet doesn’t know what server to send your request to.


Making the change

Every registrar has a different procedure for changing your domains DNS, however they are all done basically the same way. The welcome email you received from us provides you with the name servers you need to change your domain to. You will then take those name servers to wherever you bought your domain, and fill them in for your domain name.


Please Note: If you do not use our DNS servers, you will need to manually update the individual DNS records on the remote DNS server, and QOXY staff will not be able to make changes for you. Also, any changes to your QOXY server (such as adding subdomains or a change in IP address) will not be reflected in the remote DNS automatically, as they would if you used our DNS. If you are uncomfortable doing this, we recommend you use our nameservers instead.
