Change the names of DNS servers

You must change the names of DNS servers at the domain name registrar.

Note: The time when the changes take effect depends on the time-to-live (TTL) period of the DNS server names cached on local DNS servers. The default TTL period is 48 hours. For more information about how to smoothly migrate domain names, see Smooth domain name imgration to Alibaba Cloud DNS.
