To get your website and email working, your domain needs to be connected to your hosting.
The easiest way to do this is by updating your nameservers.
Step 1: Find Your Nameservers
Your nameservers are provided in your welcome email.
They will look something like:
- ns1.yourhosting.co.uk
- ns2.yourhosting.co.uk
Make sure you use the exact ones provided to you.
Step 2: Log In to Your Domain Provider
Go to the website where you bought your domain.
This might be:
- Little Moo Hosting
- Or another provider (e.g. GoDaddy, 123 Reg, etc.)
Step 3: Find Nameserver Settings
Look for something like:
- DNS settings
- Nameservers
- Domain management
Every provider is slightly different, but it’s usually easy to find.
Step 4: Update Your Nameservers
Replace your current nameservers with the ones from your welcome email.
Save your changes.
Step 5: Wait for It to Update
Nameserver changes aren’t instant:
- Most updates happen within a few hours
- In some cases, it can take up to 24 hours
Once complete, your domain will be connected to your hosting.
