How do I point my domain to my hosting?

For your site to open on your domain, the domain has to point to your hosting server. There are two ways; pick one.

Option 1: change the nameservers (recommended)

This hands all of the domain's DNS records over to your hosting.

1. Find your hosting nameservers in the service welcome email or your client area (usually two addresses such as ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com).
2. Sign in to the panel of the registrar you bought the domain from.
3. Open the domain's "Nameservers" or "DNS" section, remove the old nameservers, enter the new ones and save.

Option 2: add an A record

If you want to keep DNS somewhere else (Cloudflare, for example):

1. Find your hosting IP address in the welcome email.
2. In your DNS panel, create an A record named @ pointing to that IP.
3. Add another A record named www (or a CNAME from www to your main domain).

How long does it take?

DNS changes usually show up within a few hours but can take up to 48 hours. In the meantime the site may open for some people and not for others; that is normal.
