If you manage your site's DNS outside of WSM, you will have to update those records through your registrar. Setting custom nameservers is often an easy process but each registrar may have certain unique steps to accomplish.

Please see the below list of commonly used registrars and click your registrar's link for a step-by-step guide on how to set up (or change) the nameserver settings for your domain(s).

If you do not see your registrar listed below, you can almost always find a how-to guide by signing into your registrar and doing a search for "change nameserver" or "set custom nameserver".
