Setting Up Your Domain

Connecting Your Domain to Hosting

To make your website accessible via your domain name, you need to point your domain to our hosting servers.

Option 1: Using Nameservers (Recommended)

This is the easiest method and gives you full control:

1. Log into your domain registrar (where you bought your domain)
2. Find the DNS or Nameserver settings
3. Update the nameservers to the ones provided in your hosting welcome email
4. Save the changes

DNS changes can take 24-48 hours to fully propagate, though often it's much faster.

Option 2: Using A Records

If you prefer to keep your domain's nameservers at your registrar:

1. Get your hosting server's IP address from your control panel
2. In your domain's DNS settings, create an A record
3. Point the A record to your hosting IP address
4. Set the TTL to 3600 (1 hour) for faster updates

Verifying Your Setup

After making changes, you can verify they're working by:

• Using online DNS checker tools
• Checking if your website loads at your domain
• Verifying in your control panel that the domain is connected

Common Issues

Domain not resolving: Wait 24-48 hours for DNS propagation. Clear your browser cache and try again.

Wrong nameservers: Double-check the nameservers in your welcome email match what you entered.

Domain still pointing to old host: This is normal during DNS propagation. The old site may show until propagation completes.
