Pointing Your Domain to Eco Web Hosting (Nameservers/IPs)

Last updated on Apr 30, 2025

To use your domain with your Eco Web Hosting account, you’ll need to point it to our servers. This can be done by updating your domain’s nameservers or, in some cases, by using the server’s IP address.

You’ll find all the necessary details in your welcome email — but here’s a full breakdown if you need help along the way.

🔁 Option 1: Pointing via Nameservers (Recommended)

Most domains can be connected by updating their nameservers. This tells the domain to use Eco Web Hosting’s DNS system.

✅ Use the following nameservers

  • ns1.da.hostns.io

  • ns2.da.hostns.io

📍 Where do I change this?

You’ll need to log in to the company where your domain is registered (like GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.) and update the nameservers in your domain’s DNS settings. If your domain is registered with us, then you will be able to update these from within the 'Domains' section of our client area.

📬 Tip: If you’re not sure where your domain is registered, you can use a WHOIS lookup tool to check.

🌐 Option 2: Pointing via IP Address (Advanced)

If you'd prefer to manage DNS elsewhere (or need to keep existing records), you can point your domain using an A record that directs traffic to your Eco Web Hosting server.

🔎 Where to find your server IP:

  1. Log in to your Eco Web Hosting client area

  2. Click Manage Hosting next to your product

  3. The IP address is shown in your control panel's Account Info section
    (Look for: "Shared IP Address" or "Server IP")

✅ Update your domain’s A record:

  • Set the A record for your domain (e.g. yourdomain.com) to point to the IP address provided

  • Do the same for the www version (e.g. www.yourdomain.com)

⚠️ DNS changes can take up to 24–48 hours to fully propagate across the internet.

✉️ Important: Update Your MX Record (If Managing DNS Manually)

If you choose to manage your domain’s DNS manually (without using our nameservers), you'll also need to set the correct MX record to ensure email delivery works correctly through our platform.

✅ Use the following MX record:

  • mx.enmail.co

Without this, you may not receive emails sent to your domain.

🧭 Managing DNS in the Hosting Control Panel

If you're using Eco Web Hosting’s nameservers, you can manage DNS records directly from your hosting control panel:

  1. From your client area, click Manage Hosting

  2. Open the DNS Settings or DNS Management section

  3. Add or edit common records:

    • A record – Points a subdomain to an IP address

    • CNAME – Points a subdomain to another domain (e.g. www to yourdomain.com)

    • MX – Controls where email is delivered

    • TXT – Used for email verification, SPF/DKIM, or domain validation

🛡 If you’re using external email services (like Google Workspace or Microsoft 365), you’ll need to add their DNS records here.
