Changing Domain

  1. Go to Netlify Site Setting -> Domain Management

  2. Select Add custom domain -> select Verify

  3. You need to add DNS records on your provider to point your domain or subdomain to your site on Netlify. -> under Custom Domains, click Check DNS Configuration

  4. It should open up to a DNS configuration page, with a list of name server hostnames: dns1.p01.nsone.net dns2.p01.nsone.net dns3.p01.nsone.net dns4.p01.nsone.net

  5. Go to external DNS host site, cPanel, and change the name server records.

  6. Wait for 24 hours for the changes to propagate.

The main thing to learn here is that you’re changing the Name Server records of your DNS site, to point to Netlify’s servers.
