How to Change Your Domain’s Nameservers in Atom

Please follow these steps if you purchased your domain or registered a new domain with Atom. Changing nameservers tells your domain where to find your website and DNS settings (often at a host like Cloudflare, Shopify, Squarespace, etc.).

Before you start: switching nameservers can temporarily affect your website and email if the new DNS provider doesn’t have the right records set up yet.

Step 1: Log in to Atom

1. Sign in to your Atom account.

2. Go to Domain Manager under My Domains. (link)

Step 2: Open the domain you want to update

1. Find the domain in your list.

2. Click the domain name to open its settings.

   

Step 3: Select preferred Nameservers

1. Choose "My Own Nameservers" if you wish to use other service providers.

2. Click "+Add more servers

   

3. Enter nameserver name #1

4. Repeat 2 and 3 to add all nameservers.

   

5. Click "Save"

   

   If everything goes well, you’ll see a “Nameservers saved successfully” message at the top.

   

Step 4: Wait for changes to propagate

Nameserver updates usually start working quickly, but full propagation can take a few minutes up to 24–48 hours depending on networks and caching.
