How do I update my nameservers?

How do I update my nameservers?

I use shopify for my platform but I used to use a small company. This company is still listed as the nameservers.

How do I transfer the nameservers back to homestead?

TRANSFER DOMAIN:
If you contact your domain registrar, they should be able to get the domain ready for transfer and send you an authorization code. Then, you add the domain to your Homestead account under "Use a Domain I Already Own" in the Domains tab and input the Authorization Code. The process takes 5-7 days to complete.

TRANSFER DOMAIN TO ANOTHER HOST:

Transfer your domain
  • Prepare the domain in Homestead: Log in to your Homestead account, go to the domain management section, and find your domain.
  • Unlock the domain: Look for an "Edit Domain Locking" or similar option and ensure the domain is unlocked.
  • Disable privacy: Find and disable any domain privacy or WHOIS protection settings associated with the domain.
  • Obtain the authorization code: Find the option to email the authorization code (also known as an EPP code or domain password) to the administrative email address associated with your domain.
  • Initiate the transfer with the new host: Provide this authorization code to your new hosting provider to start the transfer process from their end. The new host will handle the rest of the process with your old provider. 
Step 3: Finalize the transfer
  • Point DNS records: After the domain transfer is complete, update your domain's DNS settings to point to the new hosting provider's nameservers.
  • Test your site: Thoroughly test your website on the new host to ensure all pages, forms, and links are working correctly before the old host is fully deactivated.
