Setting up your name servers with Cloudflare or Namecheap for the name servers "ns1.webservercp.com" and "ns2.webservercp.com" involves a few steps. Below, I'll provide instructions for both services.
1. Cloudflare:
Cloudflare is a popular DNS and CDN service. If you want to use their infrastructure along with your custom name servers, you can follow these steps:
Step 1: Sign In to Cloudflare
- If you don't already have a Cloudflare account, create one.
Step 2: Add Your Domain
- Click on "Add a Site" in your Cloudflare dashboard and follow the instructions to add your domain.
Step 3: Update DNS Records
- In the DNS tab of your Cloudflare dashboard, add the necessary DNS records for your domain, such as A records, CNAMEs, etc., depending on your website's setup. Make sure to include records for "ns1" and "ns2."
Step 4: Change Name Servers
- In the Cloudflare dashboard, click on the "Overview" tab for your domain.
- Under the "Status" section, you will see the Cloudflare-assigned name servers. These are the default ones.
- Click on "Change" next to the name servers.
- Replace the Cloudflare name servers with "ns1.webservercp.com" and "ns2.webservercp.com."
- Save the changes.
Step 5: Update Registrar Records
- Visit your domain registrar (e.g., Namecheap) and sign in to your account.
- Locate the section for updating name servers.
- Replace the existing name servers with the Cloudflare-assigned name servers (usually provided in your Cloudflare dashboard). This ensures that your domain registrar knows to route requests to Cloudflare.
2. Namecheap:
Namecheap is a domain registrar, and if you want to use their services with the provided name servers, follow these steps:
Step 1: Sign In to Namecheap
- Log in to your Namecheap account.
Step 2: Access Domain List
- From your dashboard, click on "Domain List" to view your registered domains.
Step 3: Select Domain
- Click on the domain name that you want to update the name servers for.
Step 4: Update Name Servers
- In the left sidebar, you will find an option called "Nameservers." Click on it.
Step 5: Choose Custom DNS
- Select "Custom DNS" as your name server option.
Step 6: Enter the New Name Servers
- In the fields provided, enter "ns1.webservercp.com" as the first custom DNS server and "ns2.webservercp.com" as the second.
Step 7: Save Changes
- Save your changes. It may take some time for the new name servers to propagate across the internet.
Please note that DNS changes can take some time to propagate globally (up to 48 hours), so be patient. Also, make sure that the name servers "ns1.webservercp.com" and "ns2.webservercp.com" are configured correctly on the DNS hosting side (where you are managing the DNS records for these name servers).
