    I have a VPS with some domains. I need to change the nameserver for the domains on the VPS. I use the DNS function at my registrar, not CPanel.

    What is the best way to do this with the least amount of down time?

    Then go ahead and register your new nameservers to whatever ips you will use.

    Change all of your domains TTL settings to 300 in cPanel DNS zone edit.
    This ensures they will refresh more frequently.

    Wait 24 hours

    Proceed and change your domains nameservers at the registrar.

    In Cpanel DNS zone edit i can only edit the domains one at a time.

    But I still don't see where to edit the TTL

    could you tell me where that is?

    Are you trying to change nameservers (still on the same VPS) or change nameservers to another server? :)

    I am keeping the same VPS but I want to change my DNS to a new domain name. I have registered the domain and put in the IP at the registrar for it to be a name server.

    I just don't want there to be a lag in switching the domains to the new DNS.
