Prerequisites

To follow along with this tutorial, you will need a domain name that you own or control.

If you need to look up your domain’s registrar, you can use the ICANN WHOIS website or use the whois command from a Linux or macOS terminal:

whois example.com

The registrar’s website is located on the Registrar URL line:

To change the nameservers, you’ll need to log into the domain registrar’s account management section. Once you’re logged in, follow the directions for your registrar below. If your registrar is not included, check their documentation for changing nameservers.
