Connecting Your Domain: A Guide to MyGlobalHost Nameservers

To ensure your website functions correctly, your domain name needs to be properly connected to your MyGlobalHost hosting plan. This involves pointing your domain’s nameservers to our servers, establishing the link between your domain registration and your hosting environment. This guide provides a clear and comprehensive overview of MyGlobalHost nameservers, explaining their importance and guiding you through the process of updating your domain’s nameserver settings.

What are Nameservers?

Nameservers are specialized servers that act as a directory for the internet. They translate human-readable domain names (like www.example.com) into machine-readable IP addresses that computers use to locate websites. When someone types your domain name into their browser, their computer contacts the nameservers associated with your domain to find the corresponding IP address of your web server.

MyGlobalHost Nameservers

If you’re hosting your website with MyGlobalHost, you’ll need to use our nameservers to ensure your domain points to our servers. Our nameservers are:

• ns1.myglobalhost.in
• ns2.myglobalhost.in

Finding Your Nameserver Information

Your MyGlobalHost nameservers are included in the welcome email you received when you purchased your hosting plan. The email is typically titled “Important Account Information” or something similar. If you can’t locate this email, you can access your nameserver information in your MyGlobalHost client area or contact our support team for assistance.

When to Update Your Nameservers

Updating your nameservers is necessary only if you purchased your domain name from a provider other than MyGlobalHost. If you registered your domain through MyGlobalHost, your domain will already be pointed to our nameservers, and no further action is required.

Updating Your Nameservers

To update your nameservers, you’ll need to access your domain registrar’s control panel. The process varies depending on your registrar, but it generally involves the following steps:

1. Log in to Your Domain Registrar: Access the website where you registered your domain name and log in to your account.
2. Find DNS Settings: Locate the DNS settings or nameserver management section within your account.
3. Replace Existing Nameservers: Replace your current nameservers with the MyGlobalHost nameservers (ns1.myglobalhost.in and ns2.myglobalhost.in).
4. Save Changes: Save your updated nameserver settings.

DNS Propagation

After updating your nameservers, it takes time for the changes to propagate across the internet. This process, known as DNS propagation, can take up to 48 hours. During this time, your website may be intermittently accessible or not accessible at all.  

Automatic SSL Installation

Once DNS propagation is complete and your domain is correctly pointing to our servers, an SSL certificate will be automatically installed on your website if you purchased your hosting plan from MyGlobalHost. This ensures a secure (HTTPS) connection for your website.

Force HTTPS Redirection

If you prefer to enforce HTTPS immediately, you can manually redirect HTTP traffic to HTTPS using your .htaccess file. Refer to our guide on “How to Force HTTPS using .htaccess” for detailed instructions.
