Introduction to Hipposerve DNS Manager
The Hipposerve DNS Manager is an intuitive platform that allows you to add, update, and remove DNS records seamlessly. To take advantage of this powerful tool, you simply need a product with us and your nameservers set to ns5.hipposerve.net and ns6.hipposerve.net. If you've purchased your domain through Hipposerve, your nameservers will already be configured with these values, simplifying the setup process.

Important Note: DNS Propagation
When you update DNS records, it's important to understand the concept of DNS propagation. This is the process by which the updated information is spread across the internet. It can take anywhere from a few minutes to up to 48 hours for DNS changes to be fully effective worldwide. During this time, internet traffic may still be directed according to your old DNS settings until the update is fully propagated.
