What are the IPHOST name servers?
To make a website visible on the internet, you need a domain and a hosting server. Also, the domain must be properly configured to connect to the hosting server. This configuration is done through nameservers, where the DNS records are stored.
Nameservers are specialized servers that store and manage the DNS information of a domain. They are responsible for directing traffic to the correct server when someone accesses a domain.
Nameservers provided by us:
If you use any hosting service from IPHost, we recommend setting the following nameservers for your domain:
- dns1.innovahosting.net
- dns2.innovahosting.net
These nameservers will allow your domain to be managed directly from the hosting provider’s platform.
How to change the nameservers?
If you purchased a domain from another registrar, you can access the domain administration panel and manually add the NS records provided by the hosting provider - IPHost. After saving the changes, you need to wait for global propagation, which can take up to 24-48 hours.
How to check if the changes have been applied?
You can check if your domain is using the correct nameservers by using https://www.whatsmydns.net/
. On this online tool, enter your domain and select "NS" to view the nameservers of the domain from various locations around the world.
If you prefer to use a local tool in the terminal of a Linux distribution, use the following command:
nslookup -type=NS example.com
