This step-by-step tutorial guides you through connecting your domain name to your web hosting using CPanel at OuiHeberg. A correctly configured domain name is essential for your website to be accessible to your visitors.
Requirements
- An already registered domain name
- Web hosting with access to CPanel at OuiHeberg
Step 1: Change the DNS servers at your registrar
The first step is to point your domain name to the DNS servers at your OuiHeberg hosting provider.
- Log in to your account
- Search for the option "DNS Management", "Name Servers" or "Nameservers"
- Replace the current DNS servers with OuiHeberg's:
- ns1.ouiheberg.com
- ns2.ouiheberg.com
- ns3.ouiheberg.com
- ns4.ouiheberg.com
- Save your changes
Important note: DNS propagation can take 24 to 48 hours. During this time, your domain may not be accessible or may still point to the old server.
Step 2: Add the domain to CPanel
Once the DNS servers have been modified, you need to add your domain to CPanel:
- Log into your CPanel interface with the credentials provided by OuiHeberg
- In the dashboard, search for and click on the "Domains" icon (represented by a globe)
- On the domain management page, click on the blue "Create A New Domain" button in the top right-hand corner.
- Fill in the form:
- Domain Name: enter your full domain name (example.com)
- Document Root: the folder where your site files will be stored (by default /public_html)
- Click on "Add Domain"
Once added, your domain will appear in the list of domains you can manage directly from this interface.
Conclusion
Your domain name should now be correctly configured with your OuiHeberg hosting. Please do not hesitate to contact OuiHeberg support if you encounter any persistent difficulties.
