How to Change Domain Nameservers to Ceohost
A complete step-by-step guide to connecting your domain with Ceohost using our official nameservers.
Before You Begin
To connect your domain with your Ceohost hosting account, you normally need to update the domain's nameservers at your current domain registrar.
Once the correct nameservers are active, DNS requests for your domain can be directed to the DNS service associated with your Ceohost hosting environment.
Ceohost Official Nameservers
Use the following nameservers when your domain is hosted with Ceohost:
ns1.ceohost.in
ns2.ceohost.in
What Are Nameservers?
Nameservers are an essential part of the Domain Name System (DNS). They tell the internet which DNS servers are responsible for handling DNS records for your domain.
In simple terms, when someone enters your domain name in a browser, DNS helps determine where that domain should connect.
Your website address, such as example.com.
Identifies the DNS service responsible for your domain.
Records control services such as websites and email.
How to Change Nameservers
The exact menu names may differ between registrars, but the overall process is almost always similar.
Log in to your domain registrar
Sign in to the account where your domain is currently registered.
Open your domain settings
Find the domain you want to connect and open its DNS, Nameserver, Domain Settings, or Manage DNS section.
Choose custom nameservers
Select the option to use custom nameservers instead of the registrar's default nameservers.
Enter the Ceohost nameservers
ns1.ceohost.in
ns2.ceohost.inSave the changes
Save or update the nameserver settings. Some registrars may ask you to confirm the change through an additional security step.
Allow DNS changes to propagate
DNS changes are cached across the internet. Your domain may not start working everywhere immediately after changing the nameservers.
⚠ Important: Check Your Email DNS
If your domain currently uses email through another provider, changing nameservers can affect your DNS configuration.
Common email-related DNS records include:
- MX records
- SPF records
- DKIM records
- DMARC records
- Other TXT records required by your email provider
Do not change nameservers blindly if your email service is hosted somewhere else. Make sure the required DNS records are available in the new DNS environment before making the switch.
How Long Does DNS Propagation Take?
Nameserver changes are not always visible everywhere immediately because DNS information can be cached by internet providers, networks, operating systems, browsers, and other DNS resolvers.
- Some locations may update within a short period.
- Other networks may continue using cached information for longer.
- In some cases, allow up to 24–48 hours for broad DNS propagation.
Propagation time depends on DNS caching and resolver behaviour, so the exact timing cannot be guaranteed.
How to Check if Nameservers Are Updated
After changing your nameservers, you can verify them using a DNS lookup tool or command-line DNS utilities.
nslookup -type=ns yourdomain.com
Replace yourdomain.com with your actual domain name.
The result should eventually show:
ns1.ceohost.inns2.ceohost.inCommon Nameserver Mistakes
Nameservers vs DNS Records
| Item | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Nameserver | Specifies which DNS servers are authoritative for the domain. |
| A Record | Maps a hostname to an IPv4 address. |
| CNAME | Points one hostname to another hostname. |
| MX | Defines mail servers responsible for receiving email. |
| TXT | Stores text-based DNS information used for verification, SPF, and other services. |
Troubleshooting
Website is still showing the old hosting
DNS caching may still be active. Wait for propagation and check the nameservers from multiple DNS resolvers.
Website is not opening
Verify that the domain has the correct nameservers and that the required DNS records exist on the authoritative DNS service.
Email stopped working
Check the domain's MX, SPF, DKIM and DMARC records. If email is hosted with a third-party provider, make sure its required DNS records are present.
Nameserver error at registrar
Make sure the nameserver values are entered exactly as provided and contact your domain registrar if it reports a validation or registry error.
