Before changing DNS
Keep your current website and email service active until the new hosting environment is ready. Make sure you have the correct nameservers or DNS records for your Tanco Tech Hosting service before changing anything at the domain registrar.
Connection process
- Open your Tanco Tech Hosting account or hosting setup information and identify the nameservers or DNS records assigned to your service.
- Sign in to the company where your domain is currently registered.
- Open the domain's DNS or nameserver settings.
- Replace only the records required for the new hosting configuration.
- Save the changes and allow time for DNS information to update across the internet.
Do not forget email
If the domain currently uses email with another provider, changing nameservers can also affect mail records. Confirm where email should continue to be delivered before changing DNS.
After the change
- Open the website using both the root domain and www version if used.
- Check that HTTPS works after DNS points to the hosting account.
- Test forms and important pages.
- Send and receive a test email if the domain uses email.
Important: DNS changes can take time to be seen everywhere. Avoid repeatedly changing the records while propagation is still in progress.
