After buying hosting, your domain has to be told where your website lives. There are two ways to do it: change the nameservers, or add an A record. Here's when to use each and how to verify it worked.

Nameservers or A record?

	Change nameservers	Add an A record
Best for	Most users — hosting manages all DNS	Keeping DNS at your registrar or Cloudflare
Email & subdomains	Work automatically in cPanel	You add MX/other records yourself
Where you change it	Domain registrar	Your current DNS provider

Option 1: change the nameservers

Find your nameservers in your hosting welcome email (or ask us on Telegram @hostingsubidhaowner).
Log in to your domain registrar. If you bought the domain from us, open Client Area → Domains → Manage → Nameservers.
Replace the existing nameservers with the ones from your welcome email and save.

Option 2: add an A record

Find your server IP in the welcome email or in cPanel (right sidebar → Shared IP Address).
At your DNS provider, create an A record for @ pointing to that IP.
Create a CNAME for www pointing to your domain (or another A record to the same IP).

Check propagation

DNS changes are cached by servers around the world, so they don't appear everywhere instantly. Record changes usually show within minutes to a few hours; nameserver changes can take up to 24–48 hours.

Use our free DNS Checker to see what 15 DNS servers worldwide return for your domain (check NS for nameservers or A for the IP). You can also confirm the nameservers with the WHOIS Lookup.

Tip: Planning a move? Lower the TTL of your records to 300 seconds a day before the change so the switch happens faster.
