Domain name is the main entry point for any website. A user types it in a browser and then the browser should detect IP Address of a server to route data/content properly. Before we start website setup we will inform you of IP address of a server where your website would be hosted.

To make domain name resolved to IP address correctly please do the following:

  1. Login into domain name registrar control panel

  2. Find a link to DNS management

  3. Add 2 following records 

    1. @ A 123.45.67.89

    2. www CNAME @

IMPORTANT: Replace IP address in both with your real value. Replace yourdomain.com with your real domain name.

Once you get it done it will take up to a few hours to update DNS but usually, it takes only a few minutes. You can use any online DNS lookup service to check if the setup is completed correctly, for example: https://mxtoolbox.com/DNSLookup.aspx
