Managing Shared hosting account

If you have a shared hosting account with us, here you can get a clear idea about how you can point your domains.

Pointing the domain to shared hosting

You can point the domain to the shared server in different ways:

1. Using the shared hosting nameservers.

This is the easiest way to point a domain to the shared server. You just need to change the nameservers in your domain client area based on which shared hosting server you are using. You can identify the same from your welcome email by checking the server IP:

a. hosting1.ro(Server IP: 185.141.25.242)

ns1.ro.hostsailor.com
ns2.ro.hostsailor.com

b. hosting2.ro(Server IP: 185.244.151.83)

ns3.ro.hostsailor.com
ns4.ro.hostsailor.com

c. hosting1.nl(Server IP: 194.36.191.195)

ns5.nl.hostsailor.com
ns6.nl.hostsailor.com

Further configurations such as MX, CNAME, etc are already configured in WHM, you just have to do the above and the domain will be accessible after the DNS propagation. You can also use the email services using the webmail interface provided with the cPanel account.

2. Using default nameservers provided by the domain registrar.

Every domain registrar will provide default nameservers for every domain registered with them. If you need to use them, you can set it from the domain registrar control panel under 'Nameservers' section. If you have registered the domain with us, you need to use the following default nameservers:

dns1.name-services.com
dns2.name-services.com
dns3.name-services.com
dns4.name-services.com
dns5.name-services.com

Once the nameservers are set, you can point the domain A record in the DNS Management section to the shared server IPs which are mentioned in the above section. If you need to use email services, you need to point MX record and other records respectively.


3. Using other nameservers.

You can also use some CDN's or other nameservers as you wish. In case of this, you can just use those nameservers in the same section 'Nameservers' and wait for the propagation delay. But further DNS records needed to be set in the nameserver end. For example, if you are using 'Cloudflare' nameservers, the further DNS records needed to be created in the Cloudflare panel.
