Can't verify my domain when switching from Wix to Google Sites

My domain is through Homestead. The domain goes to Wix right now, which I just canceled a few minutes ago. I created a website at Google Sites and would like to publish it to my domain. When asked to verify I own the domain, it tells me to log in to my provider (which is Homestead) and paste the copied code in the DNS configuration. When I click on Advanced DNS settings, it tells me I'm not allowed to edit those until my nameservers are set to default (this message appeared before I canceled Wix and now after I've canceled Wix). How do I set the nameservers to default??? What IS are the default Homestead nameservers? I go to Edit Nameservers and, yes, I COULD change those, but I have NO IDEA what the default Homestead nameservers ARE. There's no drop-down menu to choose from. The nameservers there now are still associated with my canceled Wix subscription. I am somewhat "techie" but not when it comes to this! Can someone please help or tell me how to get in touch with Homestead for help?

The default Homestead nameservers for pointing a domain to their website builder are NS1.MDNSSERVICE.COMNS2.MDNSSERVICE.COM, and NS3.MDNSSERVICE.COM. These should be updated in your domain registrar's account to connect an external domain to a Homestead-hosted website.

Key Details:
  • Primary Nameservers: NS1.MDNSSERVICE.COMNS2.MDNSSERVICE.COMNS3.MDNSSERVICE.COM.
  • Alternative/Older Servers: In some cases, eeney.homestead.comminey.homestead.com, and meeney.homestead.com have been referenced, though mdnsservice.com is standard for newer setups.
  • Action Required: Log into your domain registrar (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap) and replace existing nameservers with these three.
  • Propagation Time: Changes may take 1-3 business days to fully propagate.

Hello, good day!

Could you please provide the domain name in question?

If you’d like to point the nameservers (NS) to Wix, kindly log in to your Homestead account and go to Domain > Edit Nameservers.

Once the NS is pointed to Wix, Wix will be able to manage the DNS. However, if Wix does not support NS pointing, you can instead keep the NS pointed to Homestead. In that case, we’ll just need the DNS records from Wix so we can update them on your behalf.

Thank you.
