Changing nameservers

Change your domain's nameservers in the control panel under DNS – be aware that incorrect setup can stop your web hosting and email from working.

Nameservers for a domain managed via Simply.com can be changed via our control panel.

This is done as follows:

  1. Log in to the control panel: https://www.simply.com/controlpanel/
  2. Select the domain you want to manage.
  3. Click DNS in the menu on the left.
  4. Click the Sæt navneservere button, which is found below the table of DNS records.
  5. Delete all the filled-in fields and enter the desired nameservers.

The nameservers must meet the requirements set by the individual registry. If the requirements are not met, the control panel will advise of any problems with the nameserver configuration.

Please note that if you do this, and the DNS configuration on the selected nameservers is not correct, you risk both your web hosting and email ceasing to function.

Note that nameservers are subject to normal DNS propagation. This means that there is normally a period during which the domain points to both the old and the new nameservers, depending on which DNS server the individual visitor uses and the configuration of the old nameserver.
