How to update the nameservers at third-party registrars
When your domain is hosted at a third-party registrar, you need to update the nameservers so your website and e-mail can work correctly at Hostvento Hosting. This article provides specific resources for domains hosted at common registrars like GoDaddy and Namecheap, and also covers general steps for updating nameserver settings.
About nameserver updates
Until you update the nameservers for your domain, visitors cannot view the site hosted on your Hostvento Hosting account. However, all you need to do is log in to your domain’s registrar and update the nameserver (NS) records to point to Hostvento Hosting.
After you update the nameserver settings for your domain, it can take up to 24 hours for the DNS changes to take full effect.

- Log in to your account at your domain’s registrar.
- Find where the domain configuration options are located.
- Update the Nameserver 1 record for the domain to ns1.hstventohosting.com. This enables your domain to use Hostvento Hosting’s primary nameserver.
- Update the Nameserver 2 record for the domain to ns2.hostventohosting.com. This enables your domain to use Hostvento Hosting’s secondary nameserver.
- Save the updates.
