How to Connect Your Domain to CJS Host
To make your website available online, your domain needs to point to the hosting account where your website is stored.
If your domain was registered with CJS Host, the connection may already be configured.
If your domain is registered with another provider, you will usually need to update its nameservers.
Before you begin
Make sure you have:
-
Your domain name
-
An active CJS Host hosting account
-
The CJS Host nameservers provided with your hosting account
Your exact nameservers should be taken from your CJS Host welcome email or Client Area.
Step 1: Find your CJS Host nameservers
Log in to your CJS Host Client Area and open your hosting service.
Locate the nameserver information provided for your hosting account.
Step 2: Log in to your domain registrar
If your domain is registered with another company, log in to that company's domain management panel.
Step 3: Open your domain's DNS or nameserver settings
Find the section used to manage your domain nameservers.
The wording may vary depending on your registrar.
Step 4: Replace the existing nameservers
Replace the existing nameservers with the nameservers provided by CJS Host.
Save your changes.
Step 5: Wait for DNS propagation
DNS changes do not always take effect immediately.
It may take some time for the new DNS information to become available across different networks.
During this period, your website may work from one location but not another.
What happens next?
Once the domain is correctly connected, visitors should be directed to your CJS Host hosting account.
You can then upload your website or install WordPress.
Need help?
If you are unsure which nameservers to use, contact CJS Host support before changing your DNS settings.
Important: Do not use nameservers from another hosting provider.
