To update the nameservers for your .DE domain, follow this organized step-by-step guide:
-
Verify DNS Servers with NAST:
- Use Denic's NAST tool to ensure your current DNS servers meet .DE requirements.
- Run a scan and generate necessary reports as per instructions from Denic.
-
Prepare Hosting Provider:
- Confirm that your hosting provider has the zone file ready for your domain.
- Ensure they can provide authoritative DNS server IPs meeting .DE criteria (distinct, at least one IPv4).
-
Update Nameservers in Domain Control Panel:
- Log into Epycbyte's control panel.
- Navigate to the DNS management section for your domain.
- Replace or add new authoritative independent DNS server IPs as required.

Post-Update Verification:
- After updating, perform a check using NAST or Epycbyte's verification tools.
- Review any error messages and contact support if issues arise.
-
Monitor and Test:
- Use tools like nslookup or dig to monitor DNS performance post-update.
- Consider setting up a secondary server for testing before going live.
-
Contact Support if Needed:
