Step 3b – Connect your Domain to your Hosting Account (Update your DNS)

This one may be a little obvious for some people, so I’ll keep it short. If anyone needs more information on this please leave a comment and I will help!

In order for the domain name you just registered to point to the web hosting account you just signed up for you have to update your DNS (domain name server information) with your domain registrar.

When you purchase hosting, you will receive a confirmation email with all of your new passwords and account information. Look in this email and find where it says:
NAMESERVER DNS INFORMATION

With two we addresses listed underneath:

Nameserver 1: ns75.cirtexhosting.com (67.159.54.66)
Nameserver 2: ns76.cirtexhosting.com (67.159.54.67)

Copy the theĀ ns75.cirtexhosting.com part, login to your domain registrar and update the nameserver information for your domain with this information.

It should also be mentioned that you can skip this step if you register your domain at the same time that you purchase your hosting. This is possible at Citrex as well.
