Pointing Your Domain to Hosting

Connect your domain name to your WebHostNet hosting account using DNS configuration.

Method 1: Change Nameservers (Recommended)

This is the easiest and most reliable method.

Step 1: Log into your domain registrar

Access the control panel where you purchased your domain (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Google Domains, etc.)

Step 2: Find DNS/Nameserver settings

Look for options like:

  • DNS Management
  • Nameservers
  • Domain Settings
  • Advanced DNS

Step 3: Update nameservers

Replace existing nameservers with:

text
ns1.webhostnet.in
ns2.webhostnet.in

Step 4: Save and wait

Save changes and wait 24-48 hours for DNS propagation.

Method 2: Update A Records

If you want to keep your current nameservers:

Steps:

  • Go to DNS Management at your registrar
  • Find the A record for @ (root domain)
  • Change the IP to: 65.108.3.177
  • Add/update www A record to: 65.108.3.177
  • Save changes

Verification

Check if your domain is pointing correctly:

bash
ping yourdomain.com

Should return: 65.108.3.177

Or use online tools:

  • whatsmydns.net
  • dnschecker.org
DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate worldwide. Be patient!

Common Issues

If your domain doesn't work:

  • Wait longer - propagation can take time
  • Clear your browser cache and DNS cache
  • Try accessing from a different device/network
  • Verify you entered the correct IP address
  • Contact support if issues persist after 48 hours
