How do I change my domain DNS record?

Specific steps on how to change your domain DNS record varies from one provider to another, but basically all you have to do is ask your hosting provider for their DNS which will look something like this:

Primary Nameserver: ns1.hostingcompany.com

Secondary Nameserver: ns2.hostingcompany.com

Then you will need to go to your domain registrar (the place where you purchased your domain) and look for DNS change or something similar to this in the control panel. Some companies won’t let you do it through your control panel, so you would have to contact them and give them the new DNS names.

It’s important to remember that the actual update might take anywhere from 24-48 hours to change.
