Update the DNS on an existing domain name
If you already own a domain name don’t worry, you can simply point the domain to our servers. Once you singup we will send you two name server addresses. Simply change the name servers at your domain registrar to the ones we provided and within 24 hours or less your domain will point to our hosting servers! You can repeat this process with as many domains as you like.
Parking a Domain
Parked Domain: Parked domain shows the same content as the primary domain
Add-on Domain: Add-on domain shows its own website
If you ‘park’ the domain, it will end up displaying the exact same website as the main domain of the account you parked it on. If you do not want it to have any kind of website but still be useful for email and other services pointed at our server, you should add it as an ‘add-on’ domain. This way it gets its own document root. If you do not put any site files in the document root, the site it shows will be blank.
A good domain name is vital to your online presence. Choosing a domain that is relevant to your site as well as simple to type are two important things to remember when choosing a domain. Try to keep the domain name as short as possible as a standard rule. Keep in mind you can always purchase additional domain names so even if you chose a domain you no longer like, you can always replace it!
As previously mentioned all HostUpon Web Hosting plans come with a free domain for life meaning as long as you stay with us your primary domain name will be renewed for you free of charge.
