Of the many DNS records that can be modified, nameservers are one of the most important entries. This is because nameservers tell the world where DNS records for your domain are located. They can then ask the server where to go to find your website (A record) or email (MX record), for example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This guide will cover the following topics:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#why\">Why DNS and Nameservers are Important<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#nameservers-shared\">Nameservers for <strong>Shared<\/strong>, <strong>VPS<\/strong>, <strong>Platform InMotion<\/strong> &amp; <strong>Dedicated<\/strong> Accounts<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#nameservers-reseller\">Nameservers for <strong>Resellers<\/strong><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#registrars\">How to Find Your Domain\u2019s Registrar<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#change-nameservers\">Changing your Nameservers<\/a>\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#amp\">Changing your DNS Servers in the Account Management Panel (AMP)<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#elsewhere\">Where Do I Change my Nameservers for Domains Registered Elsewhere?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"#record-types\">DNS Record Types<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"why\">Why DNS and Nameservers are Important<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.inmotionhosting.com\/support\/domain-names\/\">Domain names<\/a> are important because they are what people type into a browser in order to see your content or application.
