This article discusses how to manage DNS settings for your domains at hosting.com.

DNS management for domains at hosting.com falls into two categories:

  • Domains that are associated with a hosting product (such as shared web hosting, Managed VPS, etc).
  • Domains that are not associated with a hosting product. In other words, these are standalone domains, often used for email hosting services, etc.

The following sections discuss each of these scenarios.

Note

If you purchased a domain with a third-party registrar, you must update nameservers and any other DNS records using their management interface. For example, please see Updating the nameservers at third-party registrars.

Domains with a hosting product

This is the most common scenario: you purchased a domain and an associated hosting product from hosting.com (or A2 Hosting).

For domains purchased from hosting.com on or after April 28, 2025:

For domains purchased from A2 Hosting before April 28, 2025:

  • The nameservers are ns1.a2hosting.com, ns2.a2hosting.com, ns3.a2hosting.com, and ns4.a2hosting.com.
  • You manage DNS settings in cPanel as described in Using the DNS Zone Editor in cPanel.

Domains without a hosting product

This scenario applies if you purchased a domain without an associated hosting product from hosting.com (or A2 Hosting).
