How do I change the name servers associated with my domain name?

Answer by: George Kaloyanov, Aplus.Net Knowledge Base Support.

Name Servers control how a domain name is resolved. In most cases, you have to use the Name Servers of your hosting company.

If your domain name is hosted with Aplus.Net, your name servers should be the following:

Primary: ns1.abac.com

Secondary: ns2.abac.com

You can change the name servers associated with your domain name using our web-based Control Panels.

NOTE: Please have in mind that if your domain name is not registered with Aplus.Net/Names4Ever.com, you will need to contact the current registrar of the domain in order to change its nameservers.

I. If you have an Aplus.Net account (starts with “AP”) associated with your domain name registration, please follow the instructions below:

Start by logging to the Aplus.Net Control Panel at http://cp.aplus.net. Use your Registration Number and Customer Password.
Select Domains from the top navigation bar, then click on Domain Registrations.
On the Domain Registrations page, click the name of the domain you’d like to manage.

On the following page, click on the Manage Name Servers icon.
On the Manage Name Servers page, specify the host names (not the IP addresses) of the name servers that you’d like to associate with this domain. You must specify at least two name servers.

Click Modify to save the new nameservers.

Note: Please keep in mind that all Nameserver changes my take up to 48 hours to take effect.

II. If you have a Names4Ever.com account (consists of numbers only) associated with your domain name registration, please follow the instructions below:
