# Hosting.com DNS management

> This article discusses how to handle DNS management for your domains at hosting.com, including domains that are not associated with a hosting product.

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](/docs/updating-nameservers-at-third-party-registrars).
</Note>

## 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](/docs/managing-your-website-in-the-hosting-panel) or in cPanel as described in [Using the DNS Zone Editor in cPanel](/docs/using-the-cpanel-zone-editor).

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](/docs/using-the-cpanel-zone-editor).

## 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](/docs/managing-dns-settings-in-the-hosting-panel).
* For domains purchased from **A2 Hosting** before April 28, 2025, please [open a support ticket](/docs/working-with-tickets) at [https://my.hosting.com](https://my.hosting.com) and we will assist you.
