WA Support Techs,

I am not sure how to go about this and am therefore contacting you. I appreciate any and all feedback you can give me to get this done quickly and effi

Your website hosting can be here and your domains can still live in hostgator. You simply point those domains to WA servers and then you’ll be able to create a website on those domains (even though they don’t Live here).

For instructions, go to Site Domains and scroll down the Other Domains:

You can point domains registered outside of Wealthy Affiliate to WA Servers and host your websites. To do this update your domain's DNS at the following nameservers: ns1.mywahosting.com ns2.mywahosting.com

Thank you very much, this is exactly what I was looking for. I just couldn't find the dns settings myself. Much appreciated. Have a wonderful day.

Couple more things. I have changed my dns settings and pointed them to WA hosting. Now will my ftp settings remain the same or will I have to get new ftp information from WA? I do quite a bit of uploading and such via ftp. Call me old school if you will. :D I keep thinking I will need to get new ftp information as well as the ability to re create my personal emails like I had them set up at host gator because I will no longer be hosting at host gator anymore.

Yes you will :) I have 2 domains hosted elsewhere and confirmed this. Once domain is configured for WA, you’ll see an option for FTP access. FYI though, WA doesn’t offer C Panel. It’s super simplified here which I like, but something to be aware of if you are used to the over technical options in hosting providers like hostgator.

Thanks again, I had previously asked about the ftp and cpanel. You are correct, I am used to the cpanel but thats perfectly fine. I'm sure i'll get used to a simpler life..lol

YOU WILL :) I did. If you find yourself wanting to do something that you can’t figure out with your website, you can reach out to support here. They are super responsive.

Cool, good to know.

Many thanks again,

Glad I could help ya :) (To reach out to support, just click on the Help Center located in your left sidebar.)

I thought this was the support chat.. is that why they haven't answered me..

No, this is "Ask a Question" which goes out to the WA community. Site Support is the WA support team, Live chat is the real-time chat on the right side and private message is DM.

Well, I can't say that I'm shocked I put my support question in the wrong place. Being new I guess I'll just own this mistake. :) I have now submitted a ticket with the support desk for real this time.

Thank you Kim, For all the information and assistance today.
