How do I set up my hosting and
domain registration so that I can begin uploading Search
Engine Cloaker?
Now that you have a reseller hosting account and a domain name
registered I need to teach you how to setup your domain name and hosting
so that they are communicating with each other and your website can be
displayed. I am going to show you step-by-step how to do this.
1.) Login to your reseller hosting control panel
When you
purchased you reseller hosting account you should have been given a URL
along with a username and password to login to your Web Host Management
(WHM) control panel.
2.) Create a new account
Once you are logged in click on the
"Create a New Account" button. Fill in your domain, username, and
password while leaving all the other fields set to unlimited. Then
click "create". You now have your hosting account setup.
3.) Changing your nameservers
Now you need to tell your domain
name where your hosting is setup by changing the name servers. Your
hosting provider should have told you what your name servers are when you
signed up. An example of your name servers are
ns1.thenameserver.com and ns2.thenameserver.com. If you don't
know your name servers then send an email to your hosting provider.
Now that you have your name servers it is time to login to your domain
registrar account. When your in your domain registrar account
click on your domain and there should be something that says "change
DNS" or "change name servers", so you will want to click on that.
Next it might say something like "use our name servers" or "use your own
name servers". You will want to select "use your own name servers"
and then proceed to type in your name servers. Click "update" and
you are done.
4.) Waiting for your website to propagate
After you have
created your hosting account and changed your name servers you will need
to wait anywhere from a couple of hours to 48 hours before your site
becomes "live". You will know your website is "live" when you go
to yourdomain.com and it shows a page with your directories.
