How to point a domain to Hosting.com's nameservers

Add the domain to your Hosting.com account first, then change the nameservers at the domain's registrar to ns1–4.stableserver.net. Nothing is copied in the switch.

Your visitors keep reaching the old host until resolvers follow the new delegation.

Leaving Hosting.com? Add every record at the new host first, then change the nameservers, and keep Hosting.com's zone answering for the .com referral's 2 days.

The switch, in three placesHosting.com's help pages · October 24, 2026

  1. 1At Hosting.com

    Add the domain to your hosting account first: Hosting Panel → Websites → Add website.

    Nothing is copied when the nameservers change: the zone at Hosting.com starts with what you add.

  2. 2At the domain's registrar

    Replace the nameservers at the registrar, not in cPanel, with all four names.

  3. 3The wait: the .com registry

    Wait 15 minutes to 48 hours: Hosting.com says usually much less.

    Hosting.com says15 min–48 hr
    .com referral TTL2 days

    “DNS changes take 15 minutes to 48 hours to propagate worldwide, and usually much less.”

Bars: Hosting.com's own figure, and the NS TTL the .com registry gave out when we asked on October 24, 2026.

Is my domain's DNS at Hosting.com?

Ask one of Hosting.com's nameservers directly, with recursion off: a domain it holds comes back with the aa flag and its own SOA; one it doesn't hold gets REFUSED.

Hosting.com also answers for zones other accounts added, with aa: only the registry's delegation says which copy is live, and the check above reads both.

What are Hosting.com's MX records?

Hosting.com's cPanel mail has no shared MX host: the MX points at mail.your-domain, priority 0, and its SPF include is spf.mysecurecloudhost.com.

They sit in the zone wherever the domain's DNS is hosted: change the nameservers without them and mail stops. What breaks in a move

How to check if a website is hosted on Hosting.com

Look at the site's address, not its nameservers: Hosting.com's websites run on AS55293 and 13 more networks, while its nameservers answer from AWS Global Accelerator (AS16509).

So a domain can use Hosting.com's DNS and be hosted elsewhere, or the other way round. The Hosting Checker reads the address, nameservers, CNAME and headers together.

Hosting.com nameservers: FAQ

What are Hosting.com's nameservers?

Hosting.com's nameservers are ns1.stableserver.net, ns2.stableserver.net, ns3.stableserver.net, and ns4.stableserver.net. Point a domain there at its registrar, after adding the domain to your Hosting.com account, then check the zone on this page before you switch. Older accounts and group brands may use another set: copy the four your panel shows. A2 Hosting's names reach the same servers.

How do I change my nameservers to Hosting.com?

Add the domain to your hosting account first: Hosting Panel → Websites → Add website. Replace the nameservers at the registrar, not in cPanel, with all four names. Wait 15 minutes to 48 hours: Hosting.com says usually much less. Then check the zone with the tool on this page before you switch.

How long does a nameserver change to Hosting.com take?

Hosting.com says 15 minutes to 48 hours. The real bound is the registry's NS TTL: the .com registry hands out a delegation for 2 days, so some resolvers keep asking the old nameservers that long. Keep the old host's zone answering until then, and compare both zones before deleting anything.

Can I use Hosting.com's DNS without its hosting?

Only for domains registered with Hosting.com. Domains bought from Hosting.com since 28 April 2025 can use its DNS with no hosting, under Hosting Panel → Products & Services → DNS. A domain registered elsewhere can use Hosting.com's nameservers once it's added to a hosting plan or site; Hosting.com doesn't document a DNS-only service for it.

Does Hosting.com support DNSSEC?

Not on its nameservers: a domain that uses Hosting.com's DNS can't be signed. Turn DNSSEC off at the registrar before you point the domain to Hosting.com, or validating resolvers will reject every answer. For a Hosting.com-registered domain signed at another DNS provider, such as Cloudflare, Hosting.com sets the DS record at the registrar through a support ticket.

What are Hosting.com's MX records?

Hosting.com's cPanel mail points MX at the domain's own mail host on your server, with the SPF include include:spf.mysecurecloudhost.com. They belong in the zone wherever the domain's DNS is hosted, so add them at the new host before you move the nameservers, or mail stops reaching the mailboxes.

Is a site hosted on Hosting.com if it uses Hosting.com's nameservers?

Not necessarily: nameservers say where the DNS is, not the website. Hosting.com's nameservers answer from AWS Global Accelerator (AS16509), while its web servers are on AS55293 and 13 more networks. Look up the site's address, or run the Hosting Checker, which matches the address, nameservers, CNAME and headers.

Are A2 Hosting's nameservers the same as Hosting.com's?

Yes. A2 Hosting became Hosting.com on 28 April 2025, and Hosting.com says domains bought from A2 Hosting before that date use ns1 to ns4.stableserver.net too. Some older domains still point to ns1 to ns4.a2hosting.com, which resolve to the same four addresses, so both sets reach the same servers. Use the set your Hosting Panel shows.

Why does Hosting.com answer for a domain that isn't delegated to it?

Hosting.com's servers answer for every zone any account has added, even when the registry points elsewhere: google.com, for example, gets an answer with the aa flag. So an answer alone doesn't prove a domain is live there. The registry's delegation does, and the check on this page reads both before it gives a verdict.
