Step 1 – Change the nameservers
Guidelines on how to change your nameservers to Shared Hosting for domain names that are registered with Wvphost can be found here.
If your domain name is registered with a third-party registrar, contact their customer support and ask to change the nameservers for your domain name to the following:
- For Shared Hosting plans: dns1.wvphosthosting.com and dns2.wvphosthosting.com
- For Reseller Hosting plans: your private nameservers or Reseller Hosting nameservers specified in your Welcome Email
Step 2 – Add the new domain name as an alias
3. Enter the domain name in the Create a New Alias section and click Add Domain:
- Certain domain name types require a DNS zone file to be created on the hosting provider's side in advance
- You wish to create a website first and connect the domain name with it later
- You wish to keep the domain name pointed to third-party nameservers
In such cases, proceed with the validation process described below.
Domain name control validation
If there isn’t a way to change the nameservers for your domain name, you must complete the required domain name validation process:
- DNS-based Validation (the TXT record should be created)
- HTTP-based Validation (the HTML file should be created)
- HTML-based Validation (the provided code should be added to the head section of the main website page)
As soon as the required validation record is created, go to Begin Validation.
If there are any issues with the validation, get in touch with our Hosting department via Live Chat or Ticket.
If you wish to create an email account for your newly-added domain name, feel free to refer to this guide.
