How to Update Your Domain Nameservers to Point to Braysons Host

Updating Your Nameservers

If you registered your domain with another registrar (e.g., Safaricom, Kenya Web Experts, GoDaddy), you need to update its nameservers to point to Braysons Host.

Braysons Host Nameservers

ns1.braysons.co.ke
ns2.braysons.co.ke

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Log into your current domain registrar's control panel 2. Find the Nameserver settings

• Usually under: Domain Management → DNS Settings → Nameservers
• Or: Domain → Edit → Change Nameservers

3. Replace existing nameservers with ours

• Delete all existing nameserver entries
• Add ns1.braysons.co.ke
• Add ns2.braysons.co.ke
• Save changes

4. Wait for DNS propagation

• Changes take 24–48 hours to fully propagate worldwide
• In Kenya, propagation is usually complete within 2–4 hours

Checking Propagation Status

Use whatsmydns.net to check if your nameservers have propagated globally. Enter your domain and select "NS" record type.

Will My Site Go Down During the Change?

Your old site will remain live until propagation is complete. There is typically a brief period (minutes to a few hours) where some visitors see the old site and others see the new one. Plan the switch during low-traffic hours (e.g., 10 PM EAT).

Common Mistakes

• Leaving old nameservers in the list (delete them all first)
• Typos in nameserver entries — double-check spelling
• Not saving changes — look for a confirmation message
