Nameservers control which servers handle DNS for your domain (mapping your domain name to an IP address). The nameserver settings for your account are:

- **ns1.apnscp.com**: IP address `64.22.68.59`
- **ns2.apnscp.com**: IP address `208.77.97.139`

Using these nameservers is recommended so you can manage DNS records through the DNS Manager in the [[logging-into-the-control-panel]], and benefit from automatic DNS provisioning.

## Changing Your Nameservers

Nameserver changes are made through the registrar where your domain is registered. If you are unsure who your registrar is, visit `http://whois.sc/<domain>`. For example, to find the registrar for `apnscp.com`, visit [http://whois.sc/apnscp.com](http://whois.sc/apnscp.com) and look under **Whois & Quick Status** > **Registrar**.
