Why You Should Change Ionos Nameservers
The DNS service you use for your domain can have a significant impact on the TTFB performance of your website. Using a highly scalable and available DNS service ensures high performance all around the world. All ChemiCloud plans include a premium DNS service.
Typically, domain registrars do not provide customers with a premium DNS service like ChemiCloud DNS. For this reason, we recommend switching nameservers to ours if your domain is registered with Ionos and you are hosting your website with us.
What are my ChemiCloud Nameservers?
You can find your ChemiCloud nameservers by clicking on the Server Information icon inside the ChemiCloud dashboard.
To learn more, we published an easy guide explaining how to locate your Nameservers inside of Client Area here.
How to Change Ionos Nameservers
Step 1: Click here to open the Ionos page. In the top right corner of the webpage, click the Sign In button.
You will be prompted to log in to your Ionos Account.
Step 2: After signing into your Ionos Account, click on MENU and navigate to Domains & SSL.
On the next page, you will see a list of all domains registered in your Ionos account.
Find the domain for which you wish to manage the Nameservers and click the wheel icon to the right of the domain listing.
Step 3: The Name Servers Management page will load. Click on the “Edit Name Server” button.
Step 4: The Custom name servers page will load. Here you will have the option to enter ChemiCloud name server records. Proceed to enter the three ChemiCloud nameservers and click the Save button.
Your changes will now propagate.
Nameserver changes are not instant. They require up to 24 hours to propagate globally. There are a lot of DNS servers to update with this new information, so definitely allow time for this information to propagate successfully.
Transfer Your Domain from Ionos To ChemiCloud
There is no need to juggle separate providers, contacts, and services when you can have everything you need, all in one place.
If you’d like to manage your nameservers and your hosting in the same place, here at ChemiCloud, you should consider transferring your domain(s) from Ionos to ChemiCloud.
That’s it! You know how to change the name servers of your domain registered with Ionos.
