The Complete WordPress Course - Create Any Website Easily

In this video, I will cover one of the trickiest part of creating a website from scratch, and its NAMESERVERS and domain DNS and hosting plans.

So basically you will learn how to connect your domain name with your hosting plan in 2 different scenarios :

Scenario #1 :

If you have your website and domain name on the same account, for example, if you are using Namecheap as your main services provider, and you bought both your domain and hosting plan there, then you wont have to make any changes to your nameservers or DNS settings, because by default, your domain name will be pointing to the Namecheap hosting system.

All you have to do is on your Cpanel, click on Addon Doamins, then type your domain there and that's it, you are all setup and good to install WordPress.

Scenario #2 :

If you have your domain name on a different account than your hosting account, then you will have to go into your domain name account, and find the DNS settings panel or section, then change your default nameserver to your hosting nameservers, and how to to find your hosting nameservers is very easy, no matter what company it is, on google you should type : what are [COMPANY NAME] hosting nameservers

Example : what are namecheap hosting nameservers, and it should look something like this :

dns1.namecheaphosting.com and dns2.namecheaphosting.com

then all you need to do is to copy these two values into your domain name DNS settings, and you are done !

Note : changing your nameservers in scenario #2 might take up to 24h.

If you already bought or have a free SSL certificate from your hosting company, all you need to do is contact your hosting support via chat and ask them to enable it and activate HTTPS redirect.

If you dont have an SSL certificate, on your WordPress dashboard, Install a plugin called REALLY SIMPLE SSL, After activating it, you will have to go through a manual setup, After you enter your login details to your Cpanel account, you will get 3 documents with different values, make sure to copy them on your SSL section in your Cpanel same way I did, and you should be good to go !
