How To Connect a Domain To HostGator Hosting- Step by Step

How To Connect a Domain To HostGator Hosting- Step by Step

In this video, I will show you how to connect your domain from any other company to HostGator.

If you bought your domain from another website that is not HostGator your WordPress website might not automatically show up as you expected! This is because since your domain is coming from another website you need to do one extra step.

You need to connect your domain’s name servers (DNS) to your HostGator hosting. In this video, I will show you how to connect your domain’s name servers to HostGator hosting so that your website can show up properly.

    I have 2 domains with hostgator, those are fine, I have done exactly what you show with my godaddy domain ( changed nameserververs to hostgator )
    But how do I actually get the Donaine to show up ? All I see is the 2 hostgator domains ?

    Hi thank you for the video, I currently have a domain name with godaddy (which was previously connected to wix).
    I have since setup a new hostgator hosting account and new temp domain.
    I would like to connect my godaddy domain to the new hostgator hosting, as I have setup a wordpress site.
    I have updated the dns server (from hostgator) on my godaddy domain account but it has yet to connect when I go to the godaddy domain, still displaying a 404 error.

    Thank you in advance for your help.

  23. isadz arabdz on December 5, 2021 at 1:05 pm

    have a similar problem but my domain is from hostgator. Since
    i got the hosting and domain name, the website has never opened, it
    keeps showing "This site can’t be reached" first i waited a few hours,
    then waited 24 hours and the domain name still wouldn’t open. even
    after a few days and later a week, still got nothing. even when i try
    to log in to the admin using "/wp-admin", "it displays This site can’t
    be reached" at this point I’m frustrated. what can i do



  24. Bladon Garland on December 5, 2021 at 1:08 pm

    I’m so confused. I thought host gator was all I needed to post my website. I spent 120 dollars to get whatever I just bought

    HostGator clouding is most reliable hosting you ever have been used. Millions of users used this clouding for their sites. The advancement in the upgraded version makes it more powerful to boost the functionality of your website.

    Bless you brother!



  29. Zack Richter on December 5, 2021 at 1:13 pm

    What if you only want to move the domain itself and leave email as-is? That’s changed through A Records and not nameservers, correct? Do you know how to find that information?

  37. Missy Coates on December 5, 2021 at 1:27 pm

    This helped. I was able to change nameservers but I think godaddy is still not releasing my domain name somehow. It will not open to my website. It continues to go to godaddy page. I’m tired. I’ll try again tomorrow, but THANKS.
