What Are Nameservers?

Nameservers connect your domain name to the hosting server. Setting up the correct nameservers ensures visitors can access your website hosted on Hostosphere.

Hostosphere Nameservers

To connect your domain to Hostosphere hosting, use the following nameservers:

  • Primary Nameserver: ns1.hostosphere.site
  • Secondary Nameserver: ns2.hostosphere.site

Even though the nameservers use the .site domain, your website and hosting services are managed through Hostosphere.com.

Steps to Set Up Hostosphere Nameservers

  1. Log in to Your Domain Registrar

    • Go to the website where you registered your domain (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, BigRock).

  2. Locate Nameserver Settings

    • Look for "DNS Settings" or "Nameserver Management" in your account dashboard.

  3. Update Nameservers to Hostosphere

    • Replace the existing nameservers with:
      • Nameserver 1: ns1.hostosphere.site
      • Nameserver 2: ns2.hostosphere.site

  4. Save the Changes

    • Click the "Save" or "Update" button to confirm the changes.

  5. Allow Time for DNS Propagation

    • DNS updates can take up to 24–48 hours to propagate across the internet. During this time, your website might be temporarily inaccessible.

How to Verify Nameserver Settings

  • Use a DNS checker tool like WhatsMyDNS.net to confirm your domain points to ns1.hostosphere.site and ns2.hostosphere.site.
  • Alternatively, check the domain status in the Hostosphere Control Panel.

Troubleshooting Nameserver Issues

  1. Website Still Not Accessible After 48 Hours

    • Recheck the nameservers entered (ns1.hostosphere.site and ns2.hostosphere.site).
    • Confirm your hosting plan is active on Hostosphere.

  2. Registrar-Specific Issues

    • Some registrars may have specific requirements. Contact their support team for further assistance if needed.

  3. A Record Conflicts

    • Ensure no conflicting A records exist in your domain’s DNS zone.

Frequently Asked Questions

  1. Why are the nameservers .site but the main website is Hostosphere.com?
    The nameservers are hosted on a specialized subdomain (hostosphere.site) for optimal performance. However, all hosting services and account management are done through Hostosphere.com.

  2. Can I use custom nameservers with Hostosphere?
    While custom nameservers are an option, we recommend using ns1.hostosphere.site and ns2.hostosphere.site for optimal performance.

  3. Do I need to update nameservers for every domain I host?
    Yes, you need to update the nameservers individually for each domain.
