Choose which public DNS servers your FREAKHOSTING VPS uses, such as Cloudflare, Google, Quad9 or OpenDNS, from the Network tab.
DNS resolvers turn website names into IP addresses for your server. Your server uses two: a Primary and a Secondary. The defaults work for most people, but you can switch to another public provider.
Go to Servers and click Manage next to the server.
2
Open the Network tab
Click Network and scroll to IPv4 Public DNS Resolvers.
IPv4 Public DNS Resolvers on the Network tab
3
Pick a Primary resolver
Open the Primary list and choose a resolver. It saves straight away: you’ll see Resolver updated successfully. A restart is required before the resolvers can be used.
4
Pick a Secondary resolver
Open the Secondary list and choose a different one, ideally from another provider, so lookups still work if one has a problem.
5
Restart the server
Click Restart at the top of the server page and confirm. The new resolvers are used after the restart.
Setting up a new server? You can also pick resolvers under Advanced Options on the Server Setup screen.
Dependent on the operating system installed and how networking has been configured on the server, it may not be possible to apply these changes. If your server keeps using the old resolvers, update them inside the server, or open a ticket.
