If your domain isn’t already connected to your hosting, you’ll need to point it to your Little Moo Hosting account.

This allows your website and email to start working properly.

The Easiest Way: Update Nameservers

The simplest way to connect your domain is by updating your nameservers.

You’ll find your nameservers in your welcome email.

Step 1: Find Your Nameservers

These will look something like:

  • ns1.yourhosting.co.uk
  • ns2.yourhosting.co.uk

(Use the exact ones provided in your welcome email)

Step 2: Log In to Your Domain Provider

Go to wherever you purchased your domain (this could be us or another provider).

Find the domain settings or DNS settings.

Step 3: Update Nameservers

Replace your current nameservers with the ones from your welcome email.

Save the changes.

Step 4: 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.

If You Bought Your Domain Through Us

If your domain was purchased through Little Moo Hosting, it may already be connected automatically.

If everything is working, you don’t need to do anything.

Common Issues

Website not loading?

Email will start working once the domain connection is complete.
