For your website and email to run on EbdaaHost hosting, your domain needs to point to our nameservers. You make this change at the company where your domain is registered.
Our nameservers
| Server | Value |
|---|---|
| Nameserver 1 | ns1.ebdaahost.com |
| Nameserver 2 | ns2.ebdaahost.com |
Before you start
- If you already have email running on the domain with another provider: once you change nameservers, your domain’s records are served by our servers. Create your mailboxes on your EbdaaHost hosting first so you don’t stop receiving mail.
- Have the login details for your domain registrar account ready.
Steps
- Log in to the control panel of the company where your domain is registered.
- Open your list of domains and select the domain.
- Look for Nameservers or DNS.
- Choose to use custom nameservers.
- Remove the current nameservers and enter
ns1.ebdaahost.comin the first field andns2.ebdaahost.comin the second. - Save your changes.
Menu names differ between registrars, but the idea is always the same: replace the current nameservers with the two EbdaaHost nameservers.
How long does it take?
After you save, the global DNS system needs time to pick up the change. This can take from a few hours up to about 48 hours. During that time some visitors may see the old site and some the new one — that is normal.
How do I check it worked?
In Terminal on macOS or Linux:
dig NS example.com +short
In Command Prompt on Windows:
nslookup -type=ns example.com
Replace example.com with your domain. When the result shows ns1.ebdaahost.com and ns2.ebdaahost.com, the change is complete.
.jo and .com.jo domains
.jo and .com.jo domains follow their own procedures. If your domain uses one of these extensions, contact us and we will help you change its nameservers.
