How to Change Name Servers with Name.com

While HostGator cannot modify DNS at third party registrars on your behalf, we can provide you with instructions on how to do so. Please also note that these instructions may change without us knowing. Here's how you can change your DNS at Name.com.

Step 1: Find the Name Servers for your Hosting Account

The first step is to find out which name servers you should use for your HostGator hosting account; this varies by server and hosting. For instructions on how to find your DNS, please read the following article:

• What Are My Name Servers?

Step 2: Update your Name Servers

1. Sign in to your Name.com account.
2. Navigate to the My Domains button in the upper right-hand corner.
3. Click on the domain name you are modifying.
4. On the sidebar, click on Manage Nameservers.
5. Click on the Delete all button to clear current nameservers entries. You may also delete them one at a time by selecting Delete on the right-hand side.
6. Enter the new nameserver in the Add Nameserver box, then click the blue Add button. Make sure that you only add one at a time.
7. Click Save Changes.

A notification will show that your update was applied successfully.
