Managing Network DNS Resolvers

Configuring the Domain Name System (DNS) nameservers on your Virtual Private Server (VPS) is a important step for ensuring stable network connectivity and maximizing data retrieval speeds. By using globally recognized public resolvers, you can often improve response times and bypass localized DNS propagation delays.

DNS Configuration Procedure

Follow these steps to update the nameservers within the cloud interface.
1

Access Network Settings

Log in to the VPS Control Panel, select your virtual instance, and click on the Network tab in the management menu.

Commit and Apply

Click the Submit button to save your preferences.
4

Reboot the Instance

Important: For the networking stack to initialize the new nameserver configuration, you must Restart your VPS using the power controls in the panel dashboard.

​
Technical Benefits

Public resolvers like Cloudflare operate on a massive global scale with advanced caching mechanisms, often resolving domain names significantly faster than standard regional ISP nameservers.
using redundant, high-uptime DNS providers ensures that your server can still reach external repositories and APIs even if a specific regional DNS node encounters an outage.

​
Operating System Overrides

Please be aware that if you have manually configured static nameservers within your operating system’s network configuration files (e.g., /etc/resolv.conf on Linux), those local settings may override the values set in the control panel.
