If you just moved your domain from LiquidWeb to Trustname, we're thrilled to have you here. At Trustname, you enjoy the best pricing on the market, one of a kind domain privacy, and a truly safe haven for your domain.
If you still want to use web hosting from LiquidWeb, all you need to do is point your domain's nameservers to those provided by LiquidWeb. That way, whenever anyone searches for your domain name, LiquidWeb's nameservers will point their browser to where your website content is hosted.
Connect Your Domain To LiquidWeb
To point your Trustname domain to hosting at LiquidWeb, follow these steps:
- Obtain The Nameservers From LiquidWeb
LiquidWeb lists its nameservers in the onboarding email they send to you after purchasing a web hosting plan. If you can't find it, just head to their docs and get the nameservers from the dedicated page.
- Add The Nameservers On Trustname
After getting LiquidWeb's nameservers, it's time to point your Trustname domains to them. Follow these steps:
[+] [List] Green Ordered - Log In To Your Trustname Account
Visit the trusname.com website, click on 'Login' in the top right corner, and enter your login details. If you have two-factor authentication on, you'll need to copy the time-based code in your authenticator app and paste it in the Trustname portal.
- Head To Your Domain Settings
Next, in the header section of the main page, click on the 'Domains' dropdown and select 'Registered domains' to access your domain list.
Click on the domain whose nameservers you want to configure.
You'll then be redirected to the domain management settings and contact details.
- Access The Nameserver Settings
Scroll down to the 'Domain Nameservers' section to see your current domain nameservers.
Click on the 'Edit' button to begin configuring your nameservers:
Type in the nameserver addresses you copied from LiquidWeb and click 'Save'. That's it!
- Log In To Your Trustname Account
What Nameservers Look Like
Domain nameservers come in the following format - ns1.hostingprovider.com and ns2.hostingprovider.com - a prefix e.g., "ns1" and "ns2", which indicate the primary and secondary nameservers, respectively, followed by the domain name of the web host or DNS provider.
You should always include the prefix or subdomain when inputting a nameserver.
It typically takes between 24 and 48 hours for DNS changes (including nameservers) to be propagated across the internet.
Confirming The Nameserver Connection
After adding the nameservers to your Trustname domain, you can confirm that your changes have been propagated by simply visiting your website to see that it loads.
Better still, you can use a DNS lookup tool like WhatsMyDNS - type in the domain name and select 'NS' from the dropdown to see that the nameservers are resolving globally. This comes in handy if your domain isn't linked to a website yet.
