<strong>nameservers<\/strong> is one of the most important steps when you\u2019re moving your website to a new hosting provider, switching servers, or pointing your domain to a different control panel. <a href=\"https:\/\/telahosting.co.ke\/blog\/how-nameservers-work\/\">Nameservers work like<\/a> the internet\u2019s address book: they tell the world where your website and email services should be found.<\/p>\n<p>In this Kenya-focused guide, you\u2019ll learn the exact steps to update your nameservers safely, including telaHosting\u2019s official nameservers for <strong>cPanel<\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/telahosting.co.ke\/blog\/why-directadmin-hosting-is-better-than-cpanel-for-websites\/\">DirectAdmin<\/a><\/strong>, plus easy instructions for popular registrars like <strong>GoDaddy<\/strong>, <strong>Namecheap<\/strong>, <strong>Google Domains<\/strong>, and <strong>Cloudflare<\/strong>. We\u2019ll also share practical tips to reduce downtime and support a smooth <a href=\"https:\/\/telahosting.co.ke\/blog\/domain-issues-and-how-to-resolve-them\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">domain propagation process to reduce issues<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Step-by-Step_Process_for_Updating_Nameservers\"><\/span>Step-by-Step Process for Updating Nameservers<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Here\u2019s the standard process most domain registrars follow when you want to update nameservers:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Identify your new nameservers:<\/strong> Your hosting provider will supply the correct nameservers. For example, telaHosting provides:\n<ul>\n<li><strong>cPanel hosting:<\/strong> <code>dns1.tela-host.com<\/code> and <code>dns2.tela-host.com<\/code><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/telahosting.co.ke\/blog\/why-directadmin-hosting-is-better-than-cpanel-for-websites\/\">DirectAdmin hosting<\/a>:<\/strong> <code>da1.tela-host.com<\/code> and <code>da2.tela-host.com<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>These nameservers are usually included in your welcome email after purchasing hosting.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Log in to your domain registrar account:<\/strong> Access the platform where your domain was registered (for example, telaHosting, GoDaddy, Namecheap, or Google Domains).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Locate the nameserver section:<\/strong> Look for options like <strong>DNS Management<\/strong>, <strong>Nameservers<\/strong>, or <strong>Domain Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Enter the new nameservers:<\/strong> Replace the old nameservers with the new ones from your hosting provider (for example, <code>dns1.tela-host.com<\/code> and <code>dns2.tela-host.com<\/code>).<\/li>\n<li><strong>Save and wait for DNS propagation:<\/strong> Most changes take <strong>24 to 48 hours<\/strong> to fully propagate worldwide. During this time, some people may still see your old website while others see the new one.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Confirm the update:<\/strong> After a few hours, verify using tools like <a href=\"https:\/\/whois.domaintools.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">whois.domaintools.com<\/a> or command-line tools like <code>nslookup<\/code>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Key_Precautions_Before_Making_Changes\"><\/span>Key Precautions Before Making Changes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Before you change nameservers, these precautions can save you from downtime or email issues:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Preserve DNS records:<\/strong> If your current nameservers manage DNS records (MX for email, TXT for verification, subdomains, etc.), copy them first. You may need to recreate them after switching nameservers.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Reduce downtime risk:<\/strong> DNS propagation can cause temporary inconsistency. In Kenya, it\u2019s smart to make changes during low-traffic hours (late night or early morning) if your website gets steady visitors.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Protect email delivery:<\/strong> If you use Google Workspace, Microsoft 365, Zoho Mail, or any custom email setup, ensure the correct <strong>MX records<\/strong> are ready on the new DNS to avoid email interruptions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span

DirectAdmin hosting:<\/strong> <code>da1.tela-host.com<\/code> and <code>da2.tela-host.com<\/code><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If your domain is registered with telaHosting, follow these steps:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li><strong>Retrieve telaHosting nameservers:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/my.telahosting.com\/clientarea.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Log in to your telaHosting
