How to Change Name Servers with IONOS

While HostGator cannot modify domains at third-party registrars on your behalf, we can provide instructions on how to do so. Please note that the procedures used by third-party registrars may change without our knowledge. The instructions below are provided as general guidance.

Here's how you can change your domain settings at IONOS (formerly known as 1&1):

1. Log in to the IONOS Control Panel. Please use your Customer ID, email address, or domain. Click one of the links below to access the IONOS login page.
   • IONOS US Control Panel
   • IONOS Canada Control Panel
2. Find the domain you want to modify, then click the gear icon under Actions.
3. Select Name Server.
4. Click Use Custom Name Servers, then enter the required name servers in the Name Server 1 and Name Server 2 fields. You may also add up to two additional name servers if necessary.
5. Once you have entered the information, click Save to update your domain's name server settings.
6. Click the gear icon next to the domain you wish to modify.

Once you have made changes to your domain at the registrar, there will be 24 to 48 hours of DNS propagation time, during which your website and email services may be temporarily unavailable.
