How to point domain to Hosteasy?

To point your domain to HostEasy hosting, you will need to follow these general steps:

Step 1: Log in to your HostEasy hosting account and find the nameservers assigned to your hosting account. They are usually provided in the welcome email or can be found in your account dashboard.

Step 2: Log in to the domain registrar where you purchased your domain name. This could be services like GoDaddy, Namecheap, or any other domain registrar.

Step 3: In your domain registrar account, find the DNS management or nameserver settings for the domain you want to point to HostEasy hosting. The exact location and name may vary depending on the registrar's interface.

Step 4: Replace the existing nameservers with the HostEasy nameservers you obtained. Typically, you will have to delete the existing nameservers and add the new ones provided by HostEasy and save the changes within your domain registrar's interface.

Step 5: DNS changes may take some time to propagate across the internet. This process usually takes a few hours, but it can occasionally take up to 24-48 hours. During this period, your domain may still be pointing to the old hosting provider.

Once the DNS changes have propagated, your domain should be successfully pointing to your HostEasy hosting account. You can then proceed to set up your website or configure any necessary settings within the HostEasy hosting control panel.
