Managing nameservers

19 views

Nameservers tell the internet where to find your website. Here's how to manage them.

AXYN Nameservers

When hosting with AXYN, use these nameservers:

  • n1.axyn.co.uk (Primary)
  • n2.axyn.co.uk (Secondary)

How to Update Nameservers

In Your AXYN Client Portal:

  1. Log in to portal.axyn.co.uk
  2. Go to Services → My Domains
  3. Click on your domain name
  4. Select "Nameservers" tab
  5. Enter the nameservers above
  6. Click Update

With Your Domain Registrar:

If you registered your domain elsewhere:

  1. Log into your domain registrar
  2. Find DNS or nameserver settings
  3. Replace existing nameservers with AXYN's
  4. Save changes

Propagation Time

DNS changes can take 24-48 hours to propagate worldwide. During this time:

  • Your website may be unavailable intermittently
  • Email delivery may be affected
  • Use https://dnschecker.org to monitor propagation

Custom Nameservers

For white-label hosting, you can create custom nameservers (e.g., ns1.yourdomain.co.uk):

  1. Register nameserver hostnames with your registrar
  2. Point them to AXYN's IP addresses
  3. Contact support for IP addresses
