How do I point my 1&1 IONOS domain to Ecenica?

Summary

This article shows you how to update your domain’s name servers hosted by1&1 IONOS – the German-based web hosting provider. This method does not transfer the domain to Ecenica, so you’ll still need to contact 1&1 IONOS to renew your domain, or if you have a problem with your domain. If you would prefer to transfer your domain to us, see How to transfer 1&1 IONOS domain names to Ecenica.

  1. Log in to 1&1 IONOS.
  2. Click Domains.
  3. Select the domain you wish to manage.
  4. Click Nameserver
  5. Click Use custom name servers
  6. Enter ns1.ecenica.com for Name server 1.
  7. Enter ns2.ecenica.com for Name server 2
  8. Click Save then click Yes

Note:

  • The name server change may take up to 48 hours to complete.
  • If your domain has expired you will need to renew it first before updating your name servers.
  • We can only support domains registered or transferred to us. If you have any difficulties you will need to contact 1&1 IONOS for help.
