Managing nameservers
19 viewsNameservers 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:
- Log in to portal.axyn.co.uk
- Go to Services → My Domains
- Click on your domain name
- Select "Nameservers" tab
- Enter the nameservers above
- Click Update
With Your Domain Registrar:
If you registered your domain elsewhere:
- Log into your domain registrar
- Find DNS or nameserver settings
- Replace existing nameservers with AXYN's
- 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):
- Register nameserver hostnames with your registrar
- Point them to AXYN's IP addresses
- Contact support for IP addresses
