Rioiz KB — Updating nameservers safely

Before changing nameservers, lower TTL values on critical records if your DNS provider allows it. Obtain the target NS list from your hosting provider and verify spelling exactly.

Steps

  1. Copy all required glue or child NS records your provider specifies.
  2. Apply changes at the registrar and wait for registry propagation.
  3. Resolve your hostname from multiple networks (office, mobile, VPN).
Warning

Changing NS mid-email migration without transferring MX records first can interrupt mail delivery. Sequence DNS-dependent moves carefully.
