Hey everyone,
If you're new to the world of website building, one of the first things you'll need to do is connect your domain name with your hosting provider. This can be a bit confusing for beginners, but it's actually a simple process once you understand the steps involved. When I purchased a domain and hosting from a website, I also connected to the same. I was using a Ryzen 5 laptop.
First, you'll need to purchase a domain name from a registrar such as GoDaddy or Namecheap. Once you have your domain name, you'll need to purchase hosting from a provider such as Bluehost or HostGator.
Once you have both your domain and hosting, you'll need to log in to your hosting account and look for the nameservers or DNS settings. These are usually found in the account settings or cPanel.
Next, you'll need to log in to your domain registrar account and look for the domain DNS settings. Here, you'll need to enter the nameservers provided by your hosting provider. It may take a few hours or even up to 24 hours for the changes to take effect.
Once the changes have taken effect, your domain will be connected to your hosting provider, and you'll be able to start building your website.
If you're still having trouble connecting your domain with your hosting provider, don't hesitate to reach out to their customer support for assistance. They'll be happy to walk you through the process step-by-step.
