Connect a New Domain with Hosting

Connecting a domain to your hosting account is simple and involves just two steps:
  1. Update Nameservers:
    • Update your hosting account’s nameservers in your domain settings. This directs your domain to your hosting server.
  2. Add Your Domain to the Hosting Control Panel:
    • Add your domain through your hosting control panel.

Why Update Nameservers?

Updating nameservers tells the internet where to find your website’s hosting location. It ensures that when someone enters your domain name in their browser, they are directed to your hosting server.

Special Instructions for PK Domains

For PK domains (e.g., .pk or .com.pk), DNS/NS management must be done from the system core. Please open a support ticket. Our billing team will handle it for you, but it may take some time depending on the volume of tickets.
