If you have registered a domain name with Aveshost and want to connect it to a website or application hosted on Vercel, you can easily do so by updating your domain's nameservers.

This step-by-step guide explains how to find your Vercel nameservers, update them through your Aveshost Client Area, and verify that your domain is correctly connected to Vercel.

What Are Vercel Nameservers?

Nameservers determine which DNS provider manages your domain's DNS records.

When you change your domain's nameservers to Vercel, Vercel becomes responsible for managing your domain's DNS configuration, allowing you to connect your domain to websites and applications deployed on Vercel.

At the time of writing this guide, Vercel's nameservers are:

  • ns1.vercel-dns.com

  • ns2.vercel-dns.com

You can use these nameservers to point your domain registered with Aveshost to Vercel.

However, we recommend confirming the nameservers from your Vercel dashboard before making any changes.

Step 1: Log In to Your Vercel Account

  1. Visit https://vercel.com/login

  2. Log in using your Vercel account credentials.

  3. Once logged in, open your Vercel Dashboard.

  4. Select the project you want to connect to your domain.

  5. Navigate to Settings → Domains.

  6. If your domain has not yet been added, enter your domain name and click Add.

  7. Follow the domain configuration instructions provided by Vercel.

If Vercel requires you to use its nameservers, you should see the nameserver information in the domain configuration instructions.

Note: The nameservers shown in your Vercel dashboard should take priority if they differ from those listed in this guide.

Step 2: Log In to Your Aveshost Account

Once you have obtained the Vercel nameservers, follow these steps to update your domain at Aveshost.

  1. Visit the Aveshost Client Area: https://my.aveshost.com/

  2. Log in using your registered email address and password.

  3. From your dashboard, click on Domains.

  4. Locate the domain you want to point to Vercel.

  5. Click Manage next to the domain.

You will be redirected to the domain management page, where you can manage your nameservers and other domain settings.

Step 3: Change Your Domain Nameservers to Vercel

On the domain management page:

  1. Locate the Nameservers option on the left-hand side of the page.

  2. Click on Nameservers.

  3. Select Use Custom Nameservers.

  4. Remove the existing nameservers.

  5. Enter the following Vercel nameservers:

    Nameserver 1: ns1.vercel-dns.com

    Nameserver 2: ns2.vercel-dns.com

  6. Leave any additional nameserver fields empty unless Vercel specifically provides additional nameservers.

  7. Click Change Nameservers or Save Changes to save your configuration.

Your nameserver change request will now be submitted.

Step 4: Allow DNS Propagation

After updating your nameservers, you need to allow some time for DNS propagation.

DNS propagation can take approximately 24 hours, although changes may become visible sooner or occasionally take longer.

During this period, your website may not be accessible from all networks because different internet service providers may still be using the previous DNS information.

We recommend waiting up to 24 hours before checking again.

You can monitor your domain's nameserver propagation: Check DNS propagation status.

Step 5: Verify Your Domain on Vercel

After updating your nameservers at Aveshost:

  1. Log in to your Vercel account.

  2. Open the project associated with your domain.

  3. Navigate to Settings → Domains.

  4. Locate the domain you added.

  5. Check the domain configuration status.

Once Vercel detects the correct DNS configuration, your domain should become connected to your Vercel project.

You should then be able to access your deployed website using your custom domain.

Vercel can also automatically provision an SSL certificate for your domain once the domain is properly configured and verified.

Important: What Happens to Your Existing Email Accounts?

If you are currently using professional email addresses associated with your domain, such as:

please note that changing your nameservers to Vercel will also change where your domain's DNS records are managed.

This means any existing email-related DNS records must be configured in Vercel to ensure your email services continue working.

These may include:

  • MX Records: Direct incoming emails to your email provider.

  • SPF Records: Help authorize servers that can send emails on behalf of your domain.

  • DKIM Records: Help verify the authenticity of outgoing emails.

  • DMARC Records: Define how receiving mail servers should handle authentication failures.

Before changing nameservers, we strongly recommend copying your existing DNS records and adding the required records to Vercel.

This will help prevent email interruptions.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I need to transfer my domain from Aveshost to Vercel?

No. You do not need to transfer your domain registration.

Your domain can remain registered and renewed through Aveshost while your website is hosted on Vercel.

You only need to update the nameservers or configure the DNS records required by Vercel.

2. Will changing nameservers affect my Aveshost hosting account?

Changing your nameservers does not cancel or delete your existing Aveshost hosting account.

However, your domain will begin using the DNS records configured at Vercel instead of those managed by your previous DNS provider.

3. How long does it take for Vercel nameservers to propagate?

Nameserver changes generally propagate within a few hours, but we recommend allowing approximately 24 hours for the changes to become widely visible.

4. Can I use Vercel for my website and Aveshost for email hosting?

Yes. You can host your website on Vercel while continuing to use Aveshost for professional email hosting.

You simply need to configure the correct Aveshost email-related DNS records within Vercel.

5. Can I connect only a subdomain to Vercel without changing my main domain's nameservers?

Yes. If you only want to connect a subdomain such as app.yourdomain.com to Vercel, you generally do not need to change your domain's nameservers.

Instead, you can add the appropriate A or CNAME record provided by Vercel through your existing DNS management platform.
