# How to Change Your Nameservers in Network Solutions

Point your Network Solutions 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 Network Solutions, 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

Change your nameservers only once we've told you your website is ready to go live.

If your email or anything else uses this domain (for example, <you@yourdomain.com> with Google Workspace, or a subdomain for another tool), email <support@agentfire.com> **before** you change anything, so we can copy your email settings over first. Network Solutions doesn't move your email records over for you, so without this your email can stop working.

If **DNSSEC** is turned on for your domain in Network Solutions, turn it off before you change your nameservers.

## Change the nameservers

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open your domain

Sign in to Network Solutions and click **Domains** on the left. Click the domain you're connecting to AgentFire, then **Manage**. If you only have one domain, it opens straight away.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Edit the nameservers

Go to the **Nameservers** tab and click **Edit**.
{% 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**.
{% 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 %}

Network Solutions says it can take 24 to 48 hours for the change to reach everyone. Network Solutions's own guide is [How to manage DNS and advanced DNS records](https://www.networksolutions.com/help/article/manage-dns-adns-records).

## After the change

Your website runs on AgentFire's Cloudflare network, which keeps it fast and protected. Once your nameservers point to us, other settings like email records are added by our team, not in Network Solutions. See [How to Add or Change DNS Records on Your Domain](/launch/redirects-and-dns-management/how-to-add-or-change-dns-records.md).

## 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 stopped working.</summary>

Check your nameservers in Network Solutions still match the pair we sent you, and that your domain hasn't expired. An expired domain's nameservers can switch to Network Solutions's, so check them again after you renew. If everything looks right and your site is still down, email <support@agentfire.com> anyway.

</details>

<details>

<summary>I changed my nameservers but my site still isn't working after 48 hours.</summary>

Check your domain is still active in Network Solutions, that only our two nameservers are listed, and that DNSSEC is off. Then email <support@agentfire.com> and we'll check it.

</details>

<details>

<summary>Can I connect my site with an A record or IP address 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. 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.
