Changing Your Name Server Settings, So Your Domain Points To Your New Account:

Your "Name Server Settings" must be updated to point to your new account.

 

You originally purchased your domain name from a register, and this register is where your current DNS settings reside. That is, unless you transferred your domain name to an alternate register, in which case, you would control your DNS settings from there.

The "Register" your domain resides on, communicates your 'current' DNS settings with the International Root name servers, which is turn share this information with ISP's, routers, and cache engines around the world. 

 

In essence, it's like a worldwide directory that other computers can refer to when they want to match a domain name with its associate IP number. This IP number is how the particular server your website resides on is located.
