This is how you change nameservers at registrar. You will do this when you move from one server to another server. The purpose of changing a nameserver is to point your domain to another server.
Steps To Changing Nameservers
Getting Nameserver Addresses.
When you purchased your new hosting plan you should have been emailed name server addresses. You should get at least 2 addresses. They will be something like ns1.something.com and ns2.something.com
Setting the New Nameservers
Log into the registrar where you bought the domain name. There are many companies where you can buy domains. We are going to use A1WEBSITEPRO.COM as the registrar but all legitimate companies have something similar.
Look for a section called
"Domains" and click on manage.

Propagation for Name Server Changes
This is a propagation time for the changes to take place. What is propagation? It is the time it takes for the changes to take effect. If you have a website with a lot of content and back links to it then it can take up to 72 hours for this to happen. Most of the time though it only takes a few minutes.
