When you register a domain or transfer your hosting to Ultra Web Hosting, you need to point your domain to our nameservers. This tells the internet where to find your website and email.
Point your domain to all three nameservers:
ns1.ultranameservers.comns2.ultranameservers.comns3.ultranameservers.com
Use all three for redundancy. If one nameserver is temporarily unreachable, the others will respond.
01. Where to Update Your Nameservers
Nameservers are changed at your domain registrar (the company where you purchased or manage the domain). This may or may not be the same as your hosting provider.
- Log into your domain registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Google Domains, or your Ultra Web Hosting client area if the domain is registered with us)
- Find the nameserver settings - usually under DNS Management, Domain Settings, or Nameservers
- Select "Custom nameservers" or "Use custom DNS"
- Enter all three Ultra Web Hosting nameservers listed above
- Save changes
After changing nameservers, it takes 24-48 hours for the change to propagate worldwide. During this time, some visitors may see your old site and others your new site. This is normal. See DNS Changed But Site Not Showing for more details.
02. Instructions by Registrar
- Ultra Web Hosting - log into client area > Domains > click the domain > Nameservers tab > select "Use custom nameservers" and enter our three nameservers
- GoDaddy - My Products > DNS > Nameservers > Change > Enter my own nameservers
- Namecheap - Domain List > Manage > Nameservers > Custom DNS
- Google Domains - My domains > DNS > Custom name servers
If you use Cloudflare for CDN/security, your nameservers point to Cloudflare (not to us). That is correct. Cloudflare proxies traffic to our servers using the DNS records you configure in the Cloudflare dashboard. See our Cloudflare Setup Guide for details.
03. Verifying Your Nameservers
After making the change, verify propagation using our DNS Lookup tool. Enter your domain and check the NS records. Once all three Ultra Web Hosting nameservers appear, propagation is complete for your location.
