Changing nameservers at OzSpeed allows you to direct your domain to a different hosting provider or DNS service. Follow these steps to update your nameservers in the OzSpeed hPanel.

Step 1: Log in to Your OzSpeed hPanel #
- Visit OzSpeed hPanel and log in using your credentials.
- Navigate to the Domains section in your dashboard.
Step 2: Select Your Domain #
- In the Domains section, locate the domain for which you want to update the nameservers.
- Click on the domain to access its settings.
Step 3: Access Nameserver Settings #
- In the domain management interface, look for the Nameservers or DNS Settings option.
- Click Change Nameservers or Update Nameservers.
Step 4: Enter the New Nameservers #
- Replace the current nameservers with the new ones provided by your hosting or DNS provider.

Step 5: Save Changes #

- Confirm the update if prompted.
Step 6: Wait for Propagation #
- Nameserver changes may take up to 24–48 hours to propagate globally.
- During this time, some users may see the old DNS records while others see the updated settings.
How to Verify Nameserver Changes #
- Use a DNS Propagation Checker:
- Tools like dnschecker.org or WhatsMyDNS allow you to verify if the new nameservers are active globally.
- Check WHOIS Records:
- Perform a WHOIS lookup to ensure the updated nameservers are listed.
Common Issues and Troubleshooting #
- Changes Not Reflecting:
- Ensure the new nameservers are correctly entered and properly configured at the destination host.
- Wait for propagation to complete.
- Invalid Nameserver Error:
- Verify the nameservers provided by your hosting or DNS provider.
- Ensure they are correctly formatted (e.g.,
ns1.example.com
).
- Domain Lock:
- If the domain is locked, you must unlock it before changing nameservers. Unlocking can usually be done in the same domain settings interface.
Additional Notes: #
- Backup DNS Settings:
- Before changing nameservers, make a backup of your existing DNS records if you need to restore them later.
- Maintain Website Functionality:
- Ensure the new nameservers are fully configured with DNS records for your website and email before making the switch.
