Introduction
Nameservers control where your domain points to. If you are hosting your website with Krusty Slarce or need to change your DNS settings, updating your nameservers is essential. This guide will show you how to update your nameservers in the Krusty Slarce Client Area.
When Should You Update Your Nameservers?
You should update your nameservers if:
✅ You moved your website to a new hosting provider.
✅ You registered a new domain and want to connect it to your hosting.
✅ Your hosting provider changed its nameservers.
Steps to Update Your Nameservers
1. Log in to Your Krusty Slarce Client Area
- Visit Krusty Slarce Client Area.
- Enter your email and password, then click Login.
2. Go to Your Domain Management Section
- Click Domains in the top menu.

3. Update Your Nameservers

4. Allow Time for Propagation
- DNS updates may take 24–48 hours to propagate worldwide.

Verifying Your Nameserver Changes
To check if your nameserver update is complete:
- Use a DNS checker tool (e.g., whatsmydns.net).
- Enter your domain name and check the NS records.
- If they show the new nameservers, your update is complete.
