# Use custom DNS servers for a domain where Glesys is the registrar

If you registered a domain with Glesys, you can still use other DNS servers if you like.

## Set custom DNS servers for a domain using the control panel

It is possible to have a domain name registered with Glesys while using your own DNS servers if you desire. Click **Manage** for the relevant domain name to open its overview, then click **Change nameservers**.

Immediately after changing the nameservers, a warning may appear for a few hours. This is because the changes have not yet been propagated globally. The warning will disappear after some time.
