Guide to DNS Nameservers Used by Dropals

3 min read

At Dropals, we use the following DNS nameservers to manage and direct traffic to our hosting services:

  • dns1.elitenodes.com
  • dns2.elitenodes.com
  • dns3.elitenodes.com
  • dns4.elitenodes.com

Understanding the importance of nameservers and how to update them is crucial for ensuring that your domain correctly points to your Dropals hosting account. This guide will provide detailed instructions on how to update your DNS settings, whether your domain is registered with Dropals or another provider.

Importance of Nameservers

Nameservers play a vital role in the Domain Name System (DNS). They translate human-readable domain names (like www.dropals.com) into IP addresses that computers use to locate each other on the internet. Properly configured nameservers ensure that visitors to your domain are directed to the correct server hosting your website.

If Your Domain is Not Registered with Dropals

If your domain is registered with another provider, you will need to update the nameservers to point to Dropals. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Log into Your Domain Registrar Account:
    • Visit the website of your domain registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.).
    • Log in using your account credentials.
  2. Locate DNS Settings:
    • Find the section where you can manage your domain’s DNS settings. This is usually under “Domain Management” or “DNS Settings.”
  3. Update Nameservers:
    • Replace the existing nameservers with the Dropals nameservers:
      • dns1.elitenodes.com
      • dns2.elitenodes.com
      • dns3.elitenodes.com
      • dns4.elitenodes.com
    • Save your changes.
  4. Propagation Time:
    • DNS changes can take up to 24-48 hours to propagate worldwide. During this time, your website may not be accessible to everyone immediately.

If Your Domain is Registered with Dropals

If your domain is registered with Dropals, the nameservers will already be set to:

  • dns1.elitenodes.com
  • dns2.elitenodes.com
  • dns3.elitenodes.com
  • dns4.elitenodes.com

No further action is required on your part.

Alternative Method: Updating A Record

If you prefer not to change the nameservers or if your domain registrar does not support nameserver changes, you can update the A record instead. Here’s how:

  1. Log into cPanel:
    • Access your Dropals cPanel account using the login credentials provided in your welcome email.
    • If your domain is not yet pointed to Dropals, use the temporary URL: http://servername.dropals.com/~username/cpanel.
  2. Find Your Server’s IP Address:
    • In cPanel, navigate to the “General Information” section on the right-hand side.
    • Locate your server’s IP address. This is the IP address you will use to update the A record.
  3. Log into Your Domain Registrar Account:
    • Visit the website of your domain registrar.
    • Log in using your account credentials.
  4. Locate DNS Settings:
    • Find the section where you can manage your domain’s DNS settings.
  5. Update A Record:
    • Look for the existing A record that points to your current web host.
    • Replace the IP address in the A record with your Dropals server’s IP address.
    • Save your changes.
  6. Propagation Time:
    • Like nameserver changes, updating the A record can take up to 24-48 hours to propagate worldwide.

By following this guide, you can ensure that your domain is correctly pointed to your Dropals hosting account, providing seamless access to your website for visitors. If you encounter any difficulties or have further questions, please don’t hesitate to contact our support team for assistance.
