1. Introduction

Why Nameservers are Important

Nameservers are like the internet's address book. They help browsers find your website's location on the internet. Setting the correct nameservers ensures that your domain points to the right server, in this case, SKY6 MEDIAservers.

2. Accessing Your Registrar Account

Logging In to Your Registrar

1. Open your preferred web browser.
2. Go to your registrar's website (the company where you registered your domain).
3. Log in to your account using your username and password.

3. Updating Nameservers

Locate the Nameserver Settings

Once logged in, navigate to the domain management or DNS settings section. The exact location may vary depending on your registrar, but it is usually found under domain management, domain settings, or similar.

Set Nameservers to NS1.DREAMHOST.COM, NS2.DREAMHOST.COM, NS3.DREAMHOST.COM

In the nameserver settings, replace the existing nameservers with the following:

• NS1.DREAMHOST.COM
• NS2.DREAMHOST.COM
• NS3.DREAMHOST.COM

Ensure that these nameservers are entered correctly.

Save Changes

After updating the nameservers, look for a "Save" or "Submit" button, and click it to apply the changes. Keep in mind that DNS changes may take some time to propagate across the internet.

Congratulations! You have successfully updated your nameservers to NS1.DREAMHOST.COM, NS2.DREAMHOST.COM, and NS3.DREAMHOST.COM. This will direct traffic to your website hosted with SKY6 MEDIA. If you encounter any issues during this process, feel free to reach out to your registrar's support team for further assistance.

Nameserver settings with Cloudflare

If you are using Cloudflare as a CDN with SKY6 MEDIA, please set your nameservers as listed above. Once they are added to our servers where we can add the correct DNS for everything, you can add the Cloudflare nameserver settings to your GoDaddy account. When you do this, it allows Cloudflare to set the correct DNS for all of your records, including your mx and @ records.
