Update nameservers and DNS on Dot.st

Nameservers tell the internet where to find DNS records for your domain. Update them carefully from your Dot.st domain settings.

Step 1: Sign in and open Domains. Click the domain you want to change.

Step 2: Open the Nameservers section. Note your current values before editing in case you need to revert.

Step 3: Enter the hostnames your hosting provider gave you — commonly two entries such as ns1.host.com and ns2.host.com. Dot.st accepts up to four nameserver hostnames.

Step 4: Save changes. DNS propagation can take from minutes to 48 hours depending on old TTL values.

Step 5: If you host DNS on Dot.st defaults, use the DNS or record controls on the same page instead of external nameservers.

Step 6: Test after propagation using a browser incognito window or a DNS lookup tool. Confirm www and root both resolve if you need both.

Typos in nameserver hostnames are a common outage cause. If the site breaks after a change, revert to the previous nameservers and open dot.st/support if you need help confirming the correct values with your host.
