# How to Change Your Nameservers in GoDaddy

Point your GoDaddy domain to your AgentFire website by changing its nameservers, what to check before you do, and how long it takes.

To put your AgentFire website on your domain, your domain's **nameservers** need to point to AgentFire. Nameservers tell the internet where your domain's settings live. Your domain stays registered with GoDaddy, and you keep paying for it there.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Use the exact nameservers we sent you for your domain.** They're different for each domain, so don't copy them from another article, another website or your own Cloudflare account. If you don't have them, email <support@agentfire.com> and we'll send them.
{% endhint %}

## Before you start

If your email uses this domain (for example, <you@yourdomain.com> with Google Workspace or Microsoft 365), email <support@agentfire.com> **before** you change anything, so we can copy your email settings over first. Otherwise your email can stop working after the change.

## Change the nameservers

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open your domain

Sign in to GoDaddy and go to your **Domain Portfolio**. Click the domain you're connecting to AgentFire. This opens its **Domain Settings** page.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Go to Nameservers

Click **DNS**, then the **Nameservers** tab.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Choose your own nameservers

Choose **I'll use my own nameservers**. Don't choose **GoDaddy Nameservers (recommended)**.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Enter AgentFire's nameservers

Enter the two nameservers we sent you, one per box. Remove any other nameservers so only these two are left.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Save

Click **Save**, then **Continue**. If GoDaddy asks you to confirm it's you, enter the code it sends to your phone, authenticator app or email.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Let us know

Email <support@agentfire.com> to say the change is done, and we'll check that your website is working.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

Most changes work within an hour, but it can take up to 48 hours to reach everyone.

## Rather we do it?

You can give us access to your GoDaddy domain without sharing your password: see [How to Give AgentFire Access to GoDaddy](/launch/nameservers-and-access/articles-1505033-how-to-delegate-access-using-godaddy.md). Then email <support@agentfire.com> and we'll make the change for you.

## Why AgentFire needs your nameservers

Your website runs on AgentFire's Cloudflare network, which keeps it fast and protected. That only works when we manage your domain's settings (its DNS). Once your nameservers point to us, other settings like email records are added by our team, not in GoDaddy. They aren't copied over on their own, so send us the records you need.

## Common Questions

<details>

<summary>I need to add records for my email or another tool. Do I change my nameservers?</summary>

No. Changing nameservers is only for connecting your website. Email <support@agentfire.com> with the records the other service gave you (type, host and value), and we'll add them.

</details>

<details>

<summary>My site shows a GoDaddy "parked" page or a Cloudflare error.</summary>

Your nameservers may have been changed back to GoDaddy's or set to the wrong pair. Check them in GoDaddy under **DNS** > **Nameservers**. If they don't match the pair we sent you, email <support@agentfire.com> and we'll confirm the right ones.

</details>

<details>

<summary>My site stopped working and nothing was changed.</summary>

Check that your domain hasn't expired in GoDaddy. If it has, renew it there. Then email <support@agentfire.com>.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I connect my site with an A record instead?</summary>

No. AgentFire websites connect through nameservers.

</details>

<details>

<summary>I'm leaving AgentFire. What happens if I change my nameservers away?</summary>

Your AgentFire website goes offline on that domain as soon as the change takes effect, and you may not be able to log in to your dashboard after that. Changing nameservers does **not** cancel your subscription. Email <support@agentfire.com> **before** you change anything: we'll handle the cancellation and send you a copy of your current DNS settings (including email) for your new host.
