How to point your domain to HostBari hosting

Q: How long does the change take?

Nameserver changes are published by the registry within minutes, but resolvers cache the old answer for as long as their TTL allows — up to an hour in practice. Nothing is lost while it propagates; visitors simply reach the old server until their resolver refreshes.

There are two ways to bring a domain to your hosting account, and which one you want depends on where you would rather manage DNS.

Use our nameservers (recommended)

We create the zone, publish the A, MX and TXT records for you, and your SSL certificate issues automatically once the name resolves to us.

Keep your nameservers

If you manage DNS elsewhere, add an A record pointing to the IP shown on your hosting page, and a CNAME for www. Mail keeps working only if your MX records already point where you want mail delivered.

How long does the change take?

Will my email stop while it changes?

Not if the mail records are in place before you switch. We copy your existing MX and TXT records into the new zone when you ask us to, so mail keeps arriving where it already does. If you are also transferring the domain to us, change the nameservers first and start the transfer afterwards.
