To point your domain to your hosting account, you usually need to update the domain’s DNS records so they connect to your hosting server. In most cases, this means changing the A record for the domain and sometimes the www record as well, depending on how your hosting is set up.
If your hosting provider has asked you to use their name servers instead, you should update the domain’s name servers at your domain registrar instead of changing individual DNS records. Name servers are normally used when you want the hosting provider to manage all DNS for the domain.
After you save the changes, the new settings may not work straight away. The domain will begin updating across the internet, and during that time some users may see the new hosting account before others.
Good to Know: DNS changes can take up to 24 to 48 hours to fully update, so short delays after saving the changes are normal.
