A nameserver is a server that each hosting company uses to enable its customers to create an online presence using unique domain names. As part of the domain name system (DNS), nameservers are critical to ensuring the proper function of hosting and e-mail services, such that it essentially allows your domain name (and its associated services) to be found on the Web by anyone in the world. Nameservers are unique to each hosting company and/or domain name registrar.
Spectrum Business Nameservers:
Primary Nameserver: adns.cs.siteprotect.com
Secondary Nameserver: bdns.cs.siteprotect.com
Contact your domain registrar and ask them to switch your nameservers accordingly. Note that most companies provide control panel access to update nameservers, so you should be able to do it yourself. Enter/provide the nameservers you see above.
