Connect a Domain to Your WordPress Hosting Website

This article helps you connect your domain to your website hosted on WordPress Hosting so visitors can access your site using your domain name.

Below are the DNS records you need to add in your domain’s DNS settings so your domain points to your website.

Name / Host / Alias Record Type IP Address

Name / Host / Alias	Record Type	IP Address
`yourdomain.com`)	A	(Your cPanel IP address) ex. (`192.0.2.1`)
www.(`yourdomain.com`)	A	(Your cPanel IP address) ex. (`192.0.2.1`)

yourdomain.com)

(Your cPanel IP address)

ex. (192.0.2.1)

www.(yourdomain.com)

(Your cPanel IP address)

ex. (192.0.2.1)

NOTE. You can leave the Name / Host / Alias field empty if your DNS host automatically applies the record to your main domain. Some DNS hosts may require using @ to represent the main domain.

DNS zone specific instructions

The steps to add or edit the A records for your WordPress Hosting website depend on the DNS zone you are using. Please follow the instructions for your DNS zone:

Account Manager DNS
cPanel DNS (by default, this is already configured for cPanel website)

NOTE. To find out where your DNS zone is found, read Crazy Domains DNS guide.

General instructions

If your DNS is hosted with another provider, follow these general setup instructions:

Go to the DNS settings of your domain.
Find the existing A record for your domain (both with and without www).
Update or add the required A records.
Wait for the changes to take effect. DNS update may take up to 72 hours to work.
