    Alibaba Cloud DNS:Modify DNS server for a Tencent Cloud domain

    Last Updated:Jul 21, 2026

    Change the DNS servers of a domain registered with Tencent Cloud to the DNS servers assigned by Alibaba Cloud DNS, so that Alibaba Cloud DNS handles resolution for your domain.

    Prerequisites

    Before you begin, ensure that you have:

    • The DNS server names that Alibaba Cloud DNS has assigned to your domain. If you don't have them yet, see Check your domain's DNS Server IP Address. For example, the assigned DNS server names might be vip3.alidns.com and vip4.alidns.com.

    Configuration method

    1. Sign in to the DNSPod Domain Registration Console. On the All Domains tab, click More next to the target domain name, and then select Modify DNS Server.

    2. In the Modify DNS Server dialog box, select Custom DNS, enter the DNS server names assigned by Alibaba Cloud DNS, and then click Submit.

      For example, set the DNS server names to vip3.alidns.com and vip4.alidns.com.

    3. After you click Submit, wait for the change to propagate globally. This typically takes up to 48 hours.

    Verify the change

    After the propagation period, confirm that your domain is using the Alibaba Cloud DNS servers:

    • Alibaba Cloud DNS console: Go to the Alibaba Cloud DNS console and check the DNS server status for your domain. The status should show the Alibaba Cloud DNS servers as active.

    • Command line: Run dig ns <your-domain> to check the authoritative name servers. The output should list the Alibaba Cloud DNS servers assigned to your domain.
