FIVE STEPS TO UPDATE YOUR DNS – ForceWP

Locate domain and Registrars to be updated
Log into Registrar
Navigate to the domain record
Update domain record value
Save and wait
Repeat as needed

1. LOCATE DOMAIN AND TO BE UPDATED

Utilizing your Domains page in the User Control Portal, you will be able to find every domain that is not up to date.

2. LOG INTO REGISTRAR

Once you’ve identified the domains that need to be updated you’ll need to log into your DNS Provider, or Domain Registrar’s Dashboard. You can also use the site https://www.whois.net/ to find the Nameserver or Nameserver information, which paired with your preferred search engine should assist you in logging into the correct dashboard. You can also search your email, as most DNS Providers will send a confirmation email after you’ve configured your domain with them.

If you’re having issues logging into the dashboard you should either contact their Support team or utilize their reset password / username links.

3. NAVIGATE TO THE DOMAIN DNS SETTINGS

Since not all Registrars are the same – this next step will require a bit of trial and error. After you’ve logged into your Registrar, look for a section that allows you to MANAGE DNS of your domain. You’ll know you’ve found the right place when you see your domain(s) listed out.

4. UPDATE DOMAIN DNS SETTINGS VALUE

Use following DNS Settings in order to point your Domain Name to ForceWP:
ns1.forcewp.com
ns2.forcewp.com
ns3.forcewp.com

5. SAVE AND WAIT

After you’ve updated the Record Value you will click Save or Update. The DNS may take several hours to days to fully propagate throughout the internet.

6. REPEAT AS NEEDED

If there’s more than one domain requiring action you will want to repeat steps 1 – 5 until all domains have been updated. By not doing so, you risk your sites going down or suffering a performance bottleneck.
