This takes you to the Change name servers page, where you need to scroll down to the Nameserver boxes.
Enter your new DNS settings in the boxes. Continue until you have added all your name servers as given to you in your welcome email.

The settings have been successfully updated, and your domain is now pointing to your new hosting account on our servers. Please remember that it can take 24 to 48 hours for your domain name to fully propagate after you make these changes. This ends this article.
