Proper nameserver configuration is essential for your domain to point to your hosting service. Here's how to set it up:
Afrinet Nameservers:
- Primary Nameserver: ns1.afrinet.co.za
- Secondary Nameserver: ns2.afrinet.co.za
Configuration Steps:
- Access Client Area: Log into your Afrinet.co.za client dashboard
- Navigate to Domains: Click on "My Domains" and select the domain you want to configure
- Manage DNS: Click on "Manage DNS" or "Nameservers"
- Update Nameservers:
- Select "Use custom nameservers"
- Enter ns1.afrinet.co.za as the first nameserver
- Enter ns2.afrinet.co.za as the second nameserver

Propagation Time:
- DNS changes typically take 24-48 hours to propagate globally
- Some users may see changes immediately, while others may take longer
- You can use online tools like WhatsMyDNS.net to check propagation status
Troubleshooting Tips:
- Clear your browser cache and DNS cache after making changes
- Ensure there are no typos in the nameserver addresses
- If using external hosting, use your hosting provider's nameservers instead
- Contact support if propagation takes more than 48 hours
