How to point your domain to your hosting

There are two ways.

Option 1: Use our nameservers

In the panel of the company where the domain is registered, replace the nameservers with the ones from your hosting welcome email. DNS changes then happen in our panel.

Option 2: Keep your nameservers, change records

In your current DNS panel set:

• A record for @ (root) to your server IP
• A record or CNAME for www to your domain or the same IP

Wait for it to spread

Changes take from a few minutes up to 24 to 48 hours. Check with a tool such as dnschecker.org.

Add the domain on your hosting

In CWP add the domain as an addon domain, or use the Domain box on your service page in the client area.
