Changing nameservers at HostGator

In this panel the option is called DNS servers.

Do this before switching

Check that the zone here already has every record — mainly MX (email) and the A of your site. While the delegation moves, whoever is authoritative at that moment answers; a missing record means an address that stops working. If the domain has DNSSEC at the registrar, remove the DS record first and wait for the TTL.

Your nameservers

  • ns1.qflaryx.com
  • ns2.qflaryx.com

These are the defaults for new zones. Confirm the pair assigned to your zone on its page in the panel.

Step by step

  1. 1 Sign in to the customer panel and open the domains area.
  2. 2 Select the domain and look for the option to change DNS servers.
  3. 3 Switch to custom servers and enter the Quathos Monitor ones.
  4. 4 Save and wait for propagation.

Watch out

If your website is also hosted at HostGator, confirm the site’s A record points to the correct IP HERE before switching — otherwise the site goes down along with the change.

After saving

Quathos Monitor checks the delegation on its own and marks the zone as active as soon as your registrar publishes the change — usually minutes, up to 48 hours in the worst case. You do not need to do anything else.

Panels change without notice. If a screen no longer matches, look for “nameservers” or “DNS servers” in the domain settings — the idea is the same everywhere.
