Pointing Your Domain: How to Change Nameservers

When Should You Change Nameservers?

• Moving to Jiinubi: Your domain was bought elsewhere but you want to use Jiinubi hosting.
• Moving Away: Your domain is at Jiinubi but you want to host your site on another platform (Wix, Squarespace, or a private VPS).
• Using a CDN: Setting up Cloudflare or a similar service for your website.

Note: Always check your "New Account Information" email, as some specialized hosting plans or reseller accounts may use different nameservers.

Important Notes on Propagation

• The 24–48 Hour Rule: Nameserver changes involve the root registry. Propagation can take 2 to 48 hours worldwide.
• Email Disruption: Changing nameservers may stop email service unless MX records are re-added at the new hosting provider.
• Don't Panic: During propagation, some visitors may see the old site while others see the new one. This resolves automatically once global caches update.
