What Are Nameservers and When Should I Point My Domain to Miss Hosting

This guide explains what nameservers are, when to use Miss Hosting's nameservers, and what to check before changing them. You'll also learn how long the change can take to take effect.

What Is a Nameserver?

A nameserver tells the internet where your domain's DNS records are managed. These records determine where services such as your website and email are directed.

Changing your nameservers moves DNS management to another provider. Only change them if you want Miss Hosting to manage your domain's DNS.

When Should I Use Miss Hosting's Nameservers?

Use Miss Hosting's nameservers if you want Miss Hosting to manage your DNS for services such as your website or email.

Our nameservers are:

ns1.misspark.com 
ns2.misspark.com
ns3.misspark.com
ns4.misspark.com

Tip: If your DNS is currently managed by another provider, changing the nameservers can affect your website, email, and other DNS-dependent services.

Make sure the required DNS records are available before making the change.

Before Changing Your Nameservers

Check that your Registrar Lock is disabled in the Client Area.

  • If Registrar Lock is enabled, you may not be able to change your nameservers.

  • Disable the lock before updating the nameservers.

Log in to the appropriate Client Area:

How Long Does the Change Take?

After updating your nameservers, the change can take up to 24 hours to propagate globally.

During DNS propagation, your website and email may work differently depending on your location and the DNS server being used.

How Can I Check If the Change Worked?

  1. Log in to the Client Area and check your domain settings.

  2. Confirm that the nameservers are set to the Miss Hosting nameservers listed above.

  3. Use a third-party DNS lookup tool such as DNS Checker to verify that the new nameservers are propagating.

Note: DNS Checker is an external service and is not provided by Miss Hosting.

Result

Your domain is now configured to use Miss Hosting's nameservers. DNS management for the domain will take place through Miss Hosting.
