Changing Your Domain Name Server Information:

Domain name registrars and hosting companies are rarely the same entities. Most web hosts use partnerships with existing domain name registrars to register domain names and rarely provide this service themselves. You'll need to know who your registrar is, and, if the registrar requires it, have account log-in information in order to modify information about your domain name.

What needs to be changed is the "name server" information. This is basically the information that tells browsers reading the internet where to find a website when someone types the domain name in or follows a link to the domain name. Euk Host's name server information for Shared hosting accounts is as follows:

Primary Server Hostname: ns5.eukhost.com
Primary Server Netaddress: 83.138.166.35
Secondary Server Hostname: ns6.eukhost.com
Secondary Server Netaddress: 83.138.176.168

Many registrars will only require the hostnames, but some will also want the netaddresses. Replace any existing name server information with Euk's in order to point the website at us. The exact procedure for doing this will vary from registrar to registrar, and if you have any specific questions, you will need to contact your individual registrar.

Name server information changes take about 24-48 hours to propagate. During this period, both old and new websites need to be active so that a version of the website is available from any location. This will avoid any unnecessary downtime. After 48 hours, virtually everyone should be going to the new host. This same period applies to e-mail as well. You will probably receive mail to both old and new accounts during this period.
