On this page we describe how to activate your domain with CloudShop web hosting after you buy (or transfer) a domain, or purchase hosting.
In this example we will explain how to point your new domain to your new CloudShop cPanel website hosting package.
These steps apply to cPanel hosting
in all locations.
First, log into the client area
Domains
Nameservers
- in the left hand sidebarPlease note it may take 1 - 12 hours for these settings to propagate across the internet, and thus your website or service to become available
CloudShop's nameservers are located around the world. We recommend you add all four nameservers for the most effective global DNS propagation, therefore the highest possible website and email hosting uptime.
You have two options, choose the first if you wish to use cPanel's Advanced DNS settings
option, and the second if you wish to take advantage of our free DNS hosting
- without cPanel.
If you have web hosting with us, and wish to use cPanel's DNS service - just use the following four nameservers for a globally distributed DNS solution:
ns1.cloudshop.net.au
ns2.cloudshop.net.au
ns3.cloudshop.net.au
ns4.cloudshop.net.au
If you just own a domain, and are taking advantage of our free DNS hosting, you will use the following nameservers:
ns1.nameserver.net.au
ns2.nameserver.net.au
ns3.nameserver.net.au
These will be added automatically in most cases, however if you need to change these manually, this page will help.
