# Change nameservers

A nameserver is a server associated with each domain, such as .nl or .com, determining where the website or emails should be delivered. Every server has a unique IP address. When you visit a website, the registry looks up the correct nameservers, and the corresponding server determines the IP address for your browser.

By default, your domain registered through Thirdwp has three nameservers:

* ns1.thirdwp.xyz
* ns2.thirdwp.xyz
* ns3.thirdwp.xyz

You can also set up different nameservers:

1. Log in to the client area.
2. Go to Domains > My Domains.
3. Select "Manage Nameservers" from the drop-down list next to the relevant domain.
4. Choose between "Use Default Nameservers" or "Use Custom Nameservers."
5. If you opt for custom nameservers, enter them in the respective text fields.
6. Click on "Change Nameservers."

**Note:** If you change the nameservers, domain, and email settings in your cPanel, it may temporarily not work. Please be aware that changes may take up to 24 hours to become effective.
