Introduction
If you purchased your domain name from GoDaddy and hosting from HostPeppy, you must update your domain nameservers so that your website loads from the HostPeppy server instead of the default GoDaddy parking page.
Changing nameservers is a normal part of connecting a domain to a hosting provider. Once the nameservers are updated correctly, your website, emails, SSL certificate, and all hosting services will start working through your HostPeppy hosting account.
In this detailed guide, we will show you exactly how to change GoDaddy nameservers to HostPeppy nameservers step-by-step.
HostPeppy Nameservers
You will need to use the following nameservers inside your GoDaddy account:
- NS1.hostpeppy.in
- NS2.hostpeppy.in
Before You Begin
- Make sure your domain is active inside your GoDaddy account.
- Ensure your hosting account is already activated with HostPeppy.
- Add your domain inside your hosting control panel before changing nameservers.
- Keep in mind that DNS propagation may take up to 24-48 hours worldwide.
Step 1: Login to Your GoDaddy Account
Open your browser and visit https://www.godaddy.com.
Click on the Sign In button and login using your GoDaddy username and password.
If two-factor authentication is enabled on your account, complete the verification process.
Step 2: Open Your Domain Portfolio
After logging in, move your mouse over your profile icon located at the top-right corner of the page.
Click on My Products from the dropdown menu.
Scroll down to the Domains section and click on Manage All.
You will now see all domains registered under your GoDaddy account.
Step 3: Select the Domain You Want to Connect
Locate the domain name you want to connect with HostPeppy hosting.
Click on the domain name to open the domain management page.
This section allows you to manage DNS records, nameservers, forwarding, and domain settings.
Step 4: Open Nameserver Settings
Inside the domain settings page, look for the Nameservers section.
Click the Change or Manage button next to the currently active nameservers.
By default, most domains use GoDaddy default nameservers.
Step 5: Choose Custom Nameservers
Select the option:
"I'll use my own nameservers"
Remove the existing nameservers and enter the following HostPeppy nameservers exactly as shown below:
- NS1.hostpeppy.in
- NS2.hostpeppy.in
Double-check for spelling mistakes, extra spaces, or missing characters.
After entering the nameservers, click on the Save button.
Step 6: Wait for DNS Propagation
After saving the nameservers, GoDaddy will begin updating your DNS records globally.
In many cases, changes start working within a few minutes, but full DNS propagation can take anywhere between a few hours and 48 hours depending on your internet provider and geographic location.
During propagation, some visitors may still see the old website while others see the new one.
How to Check if Nameservers Are Updated
You can verify your nameserver changes using online DNS propagation checker tools.
If the nameservers show:
- NS1.hostpeppy.in
- NS2.hostpeppy.in
then your domain is successfully connected to HostPeppy hosting.
Common Issues and Solutions
1. Nameservers Are Not Saving
Ensure there are no spelling mistakes in the nameservers.
Correct format:
- NS1.hostpeppy.in
- NS2.hostpeppy.in
2. Website Is Still Not Opening
DNS propagation may still be in progress. Wait a few hours and clear your browser cache before checking again.
3. SSL Certificate Not Working
SSL certificates are usually installed automatically after propagation completes. This process can take a few additional hours.
4. Email Services Stopped Working
If you previously used external email services, you may need to reconfigure MX records after changing nameservers.
