# Set up Nameserver Forwarding/Delegation

{% hint style="warning" %}
When you Forward or Delegate your nameservers, your existing DNS records will be removed.
{% endhint %}

## Nameserver Forwarding

Forwarding your nameservers allows you to manage your DNS records somewhere else.

Some registrars can let you manage with forwarding, some (like Cloudflare) will need you to enable Delegation. If your registrar does not recognize that you have forwarded your nameservers, proceed to the [Nameserver Delegation](#nameserver-delegation) instructions at the bottom of this guide. 

1. Go to **My Domains** -> Select a domain -> Navigate to the **DNS** tab
2. Click on the **Add Nameserver** button

## Nameserver Delegation

For some registrars, "Delegation" is required. This includes the likes of Cloudflare. To delegate your nameservers to another registrar, you need to first enable [#nameserver-forwarding](#nameserver-forwarding "mention") and then enable delegation.

1. Enable [#nameserver-forwarding](#nameserver-forwarding "mention")
2. Click on the **Delegate** button

{% hint style="danger" %}
This will reset your DNS records to their defaults, from when you initially purchased the domain.
{% endhint %}

1. Click the **edit icon** on your custom Nameserver records and click the **Delete record** button.
