Hosting.com DNS management

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:

• The nameservers are ns1.stableserver.net, ns2.stableserver.net, ns3.stableserver.net, and ns4.stableserver.net.
• Depending on your account type, you either manage DNS settings in the Hosting Panel as described in Managing your website and email in the Hosting Panel or in cPanel as described in Using the DNS Zone Editor in cPanel.

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).

• For domains purchased from hosting.com on or after April 28, 2025, you can manage DNS settings in the Hosting Panel. For information about how to do this, please see Managing DNS settings in the Hosting Panel.
