How do I host a domain name?

You can host multiple* domain names in a single hosting account with us. The first domain name that will be hosted in your account is specified during the signup procedure. In order to properly host additional domain names, go to My Domains > Hosted Domains section, click the “Host Domain” button and follow the steps:

1. Make sure the option “Host Domain” is selected.
2. Type in your domain name, e.g. my-best-domain.com

*The domain name must be registered and the name servers must be changed with the ones specified in the Hosted Domains section.

Note: the “Don’t manage DNS” option has to be selected ONLY if you wish to use third party name servers for your domain name and just point it to this account using A record redirection. Otherwise leave that box unchecked and set our Name Servers (NS) for your domain.

Each domain name servers are managed from its Registrar – the company, where you have bought the domain from. If your domain name has been registered from this hosting account, its name servers could be managed from My Domains > Registered Domains.

3. Advanced Settings – this section is optional. Please leave the default settings if you are not sure what to do.

4. Click „Add a Host“ to host your domain in your hosting account.

Once you add the domain name, a red icon will be displayed under the NS column. Once the name server changes propagate (this may require up to 24 hours), the DNS status will be updated as well. More information on that matter is available in the article: Why is there a red icon sign (DNS error) for my domain’s name servers?

* Please have in mind that in order to host additional domain names, you must make sure that your hosting plan can support it. For that you should refer to the Account Usage table available on the left side of the Web Hosting Control Panel.

There you can see the number of domain names that you are currently hosting and the number of the domain names that you can add. If the available amount is zero, you must upgrade your account in order to host more domain names. You can find more information in the article How do I upgrade my hosting account?
