Hi all! First of all, we need to choose a reliable hosting. In addition, we need to select and register a free Domain name. Once we are done with the technical details we can link one to the other. There is nothing difficult in this.
Linking a domain to hosting. Step 1
I’ll make a reservation right away that I use beget hosting, and therefore I will show all operations with domain names using this hosting as an example. For other hosting, the sequence of actions may be slightly different.
Registering a domain with a third party registrar
So, when registering a hosting, we received a DNS of our hosting in a letter. In my case, these are ns1.beget.ru, ns2.beget.ru. It is these DNS that must be registered for our domain. To do this, we go to the client panel on the website of the registrar with whom we registered the domain. In my case, this is Naunet, and in the DNS management section we make the necessary changes.
As a rule, DNS changes within 24 hours. So, before continuing, you need to wait a day.
Register a domain in the hosting control panel
There is one more option. If desired, you can register a domain directly from the hosting panel. In any case, most modern hosts provide such services. In particular, you can register a domain in the beget.ru control panel. To do this, go to the "Domains" section, "Register new domain».
Now specify the domain name and click "Continue".
Linking a domain to hosting. Step 2
After we have dealt with DNS, we can proceed to the final step. To do this, go to the client panel on your hosting site in the domain management section. In the biget you need to follow the link "I already have a domain".
That's all. As you can see, there really is nothing complicated. We have just linked the domain to the hosting. Now you can proceed to the next stage of creating a site - creating a database and installing a CMS. I will cover this in detail in future articles. So don't forget to subscribe to the RSS feed.
To connect to a node, you need information about its IP address, a set of numbers that is difficult for a person to remember, unlike literal, meaningful expressions. This problem was solved by using DNS, a network service whose servers map the literal values of a domain name to the numeric value of an IP address and vice versa.
How to choose the right hosting to link your domain name to
There are a lot of different hosting services on the Internet, both paid and free.
Main disadvantages binding a domain name to free hosting, This
- Limited disk space.
- Limited number of requests to the site.
- Lower data transfer rate.
- You can advertise on your site.
- Lack of good technical support.
Which hosting, paid or free, to link your domain to depends on the resource you are going to make. For landing pages and small sites, free hosting is fine, but if you are going to create a serious online store, you should link your domain to a good, paid hosting. Also more high speed work of paid hosting will give you a great advantage in the subsequent promotion of your site.
What to look for when choosing a hosting
- Uptime– Server uptime in normal mode. Uptime should aim for 100%. If at the time when the site is unavailable, a search robot comes to it, then the site will not be indexed for a long time. If this is repeated, then pages may fall out of the index, and subsequently the entire site. The best indicator is 99.98%
- Random Access Memory(RAM)- one of the most important parameters that you should pay attention to when choosing a hosting. The amount of memory allocated for your site on the server determines the maximum number of simultaneous visits by users to your site.
- Number of processes- responsible for maximum load, per server allowed for your site. talking plain language, the more CPU time allocated by hosting, the more operations per second your site can perform.
- Disk space- Many hosting companies literally scream on the main pages about gigabytes of disk space, luring users with this. However, if you are certainly not going to open a file hosting service or some kind of video hosting, then 100-200 MB will be enough for you, even for an online store.
- Bases MySQL data - their presence is mandatory, since it is there that all information about the goods and orders of your online store will be stored. It is advisable to have several databases in case you decide to create a blog or forum.
- PHP5 support- Without PHP5 support, most modern CMS will not work. It should be supported by almost all hosts, but it will not be superfluous to check.
- Well, of course price, here, of course, everything depends only on your capabilities, I can only say that you should not save if you are starting a serious project.
How to link a domain to hosting
By his example, I will show how to link domain name to hosting.
- To begin with, we go to the site hostinger.ru, go through the registration procedure or log in through social networks.
- In the left corner, select the Hosting / New Account tab.
- We choose a tariff plan.
- Default Domain Type: "Subdomain", change to "Domain". Specify the domain name that you want to bind to the hosting, come up with a password.
- Click continue and prove that you are not a robot.
- Hosting registration completed. In the near future, you will receive an email with your ftp login / password, as well as the hosting DNS server addresses to which you will need to direct your domain:
Server 1 Name: ns1.hostinger.ru IP Address: 31.170.163.241
Server 2 Name: ns2.hostinger.ru IP Address: 3131.220.23.1
Server 3 Name: ns3.hostinger.ru IP Address: 31173.192.183.247
Server 4 name: ns4.hostinger.ru IP address: 3131.170.164.249
- We go to the registrar's website where the domain name was registered, and go to the control panel, look for DNS settings and prescribe our server names. Most often, you only need to specify the server names, without the IP address.
- That's all! The process of delegating the DNS zone of a domain usually takes from 20 minutes to a day, so you may have to be patient.
Information about how to link a domain name to other hosting may differ slightly, but the necessary steps are the same everywhere. If you still have questions - write in the comments, I will answer everyone.
Welcome to ! In this lesson, I will tell how to link domain to hosting. In lesson 36, I wrote how to choose the right domain, and in lesson 37, that is, how to buy a new domain.
I recently registered a new domain on the 1dns.ru website, so I will show an example of how to link a domain to hosting from this registrar. All you need to do is register a DNS server for the domain on the registrar's website, for example: ns1.adminvps.ru, ns2.adminvps.ru
Find out on your hosting which servers you need to register for the domain. If you cannot find the server names in the documentation, then you can contact technical support.
After that, you need to go to the site where you registered the domain name, and register new ones in the control panel DNS servers for the desired domain.
If you registered a domain through a partner, then you need to contact him. For example, I registered this domain on Sprinthost hosting, and when I wanted to pay for the domain directly, they wrote to me that I can only pay for the domain through their partner, through which I registered the domain
By the way, when registering a domain, you can immediately specify your server names for the new domain, because by default the domain is configured on the registrar's servers.
If you registered a domain on the site 1dns.ru, then in the control panel you need to go to " Order management» -> « List/Search Orders».
Then click on the domain
Then select the item NS-servers.
Write down all DNS servers, and then click " Update DNS».
This connection scheme applies to all domains. So you can easily link the domain to any hosting, if its services are of course paid.

If you decide to do business on the Internet, promote your own website, but received a new unique address from the name registrar, then you have no choice but to link the domain to the hosting. This procedure is relatively easy to perform, so even for a novice web programmer, it should not cause any problems. Attach a domain to free hosting somewhat more complicated than the paid one. Without this procedure, there can be no talk of any promotion on the Internet.
The last step on the road to success
To link a domain to another hosting, you need to have at least minimal skills in the field of IT and network technologies. If you are completely unfamiliar with a computer, it would be better to contact a specialist. One way or another, when moving to another domain, the DNS data of the new host is most often used. DNS allows you to convert site addresses to IP, making it much easier to get to any resource.
Attaching a domain to hosting using this method is extremely convenient, including thanks to:
- simple finding of the NS-address of the host;
- speed of registration in the domain data;
- an abundance of instructions for this procedure.
Usually, after purchasing hosting for your email you should immediately receive a letter indicating the corresponding NS-addresses. All you need to do next is go to the domain settings on the registrar's resource and enter it. In fact, with the exception of the time required by providers to update information, the entire procedure for linking a domain to hosting can be packed into a couple of minutes. Binding a domain name, thus, can almost anyone. However, this is not the only way you can use.
For advanced users
You can bind a new domain to an IP address, but this method is not suitable for everyone. He demands basic knowledge network technologies, and thoughtless actions according to instructions can not always lead to a positive result. Anyway, if you're already craving to bind a site to a domain, but your hoster doesn't share the NS address, this method should help you. In this case, everything will take place on the resource of your registrar, where you need to find the item “ DNS settings". Next, you need to manage the DNS zone, where you will be greeted by three fields: name, type, and address. The first, if you are not tied to www, must be left empty, in the second - put type A, and in the third - finally register the required IP. After that, the domain will be linked to the site.
I won’t tell you how to buy a domain and order hosting, in most cases you only need to enter your data and click the “pay” button, you can do it yourself.
- Link domain to hosting(this is required if you bought a domain and hosting in different places. If you ordered hosting from the domain name registrar itself, or vice versa, purchased a domain name from your host, then everything will be done automatically for you)
- Directly create a website(i.e. essentially create a folder on the hoster's server where your website files will be stored)
1. How link domain to hosting
To do this, you need to register the DNS servers of your hosting provider in the domain settings. (DNS - Domain Name System - this is the Domain Name System) It sounds scary, but it's very simple.
Log in to where you bought the domain using your username and password. For example, let's take the domain registrar 2domains.ru. Let's go, let's go Domains-Manage-My domains. Click on the red checkmark
A list of all your domains pops up. Click on the one you want, you get a window like this:
Click on the item indicated by a checkmark and enter the addresses of the DNS servers of your hosting. They must be indicated in the letter that you received after purchasing the hosting:
Done with domain settings. For different domain name registrars, management may look different, but the essence is the same: find the right domain and register the DNS of your hosting.
2. Now we will create your own website. We go to where we bought hosting. Again, I'll take my host as an example.
Log in with your username and password (were also sent by letter as a username and password to access the Control Panel)
Select "Domains". And note the following points:
Click "Add". With these actions, we create a directory on the hosting server in which your site files will be located. A website is, roughly speaking, just a collection of files. This directory may look different, for example, /site.ru/public_html/ or home/site.ru. In any case, this is the main (or home) directory of your site.
Now you will have to be patient, as DNS update takes some time (usually from several hours to two days), during which time your new site will be unavailable. To make it not boring to wait, to work with the site directly from your computer, without going into .
