In order for your domain to point to WA Hosting, you need to update your DNS (Domain Name Server) settings within your Domain Registrar.
OK, before I completely lose you with all this "DNS" talk, I will help you understand what is happening here.
WA Hosting is where you are going to be putting all of your website files. These are the same files that load when people will be visiting your domain. Your Domain is the address of your website. In order to connect these two items, you need to tell your domain where to look for the files. This is where the DNS settings come in. When you update these to point to WA Hosting, we automatically know where to look.
The name servers for Wealthy Affiliate Hosting ALWAYS are:
Primary: ns1.mywahosting.com
Secondary: ns2.mywahosting.com
In order for your domain name to point to your web space, you need to tell it where the web space is. To do this, we use something called "Name servers". A name server is simply an address that you need to point your domain to in order for it to connect with your web space.
The place that you update your DNS settings, will depend on where you purchased your domain (Domain Registrar). This will likely be:
GoDaddy.com
NameCheap.com
1and1.com
We are going to explain how to update your DNS within all of these system in the upcoming pages, so choose according to where you bought your domain.
I'm a bit confused on this as well. I purchased my domain through Hover and transferred the domain to WA. The transfer was successful.
I thought this meant that my Hover account would show that I no longer have my domain (quitstressing.com) listed at Hover. I thought it would be all-in at WA and I'd be ready to rock.
I am ok pointing the name servers at Hover, but I was hoping to have everything here at WA for simplicity.
Just hoping you can help me understand the process.
Thanks!

I want to change my Domain I am seeking Support help for more than a week now.
I have turned off auto and rebilled as instructed, And Because of delayed and unclear instructions I am nowhere near complete the process.
when I'm in sitebuilder domain screen here are the options that I have in DNS Management:
DNS Records
Record Type Host Name Value
I'm not understanding where I would put in ns1.mywahosting.com for Primary and ns2.mywahosting.com for Secondary with these settings.
It was easy to point my other domain name from GoDaddy to WA but this SiteBuilder domain name is a challenge for me. Help is appreciated.

Since I want to build my Legal Shield business using WA I went through the process of changing the nameserver to the two addresses provided in the Go Daddy tutorial above. I understand it will take about 24 hours for the process to be completed. What happens then? I eagerly await this next phase.
My website was not purchased at neither of the three hosting sites that is mentioned in the lesson. I thought I did passed this stage, but apparently I did not. Please help. Thanks.
So, I am just learning and was wondering about the domain names. I have a domain name that I own through wix. I was wondering that, let's say, I decide to not continue with this training and learning process, and if I change my DNS for wa- will I be able to change it in the future; is it an easy/smooth change?
Also, I notice wix is not an option for the step-by-step instructions. I have an idea of what to do, but would want to ensure I am placing all the information in the correct area.
There should be a way to set up my A Record to direct to the hosting site.
1. i need to "review some earlier lessons" to re do my privacy policy page and get it on to one of my webpages, which it is currently sitting unpublished.
2. how do i "add another web site domain from host gator to WA?"
3. how can i "review help with the menus" on my page?
4. how do i know |if my site is legal for ecomerce /product sales funnels"?
tthank you for yourtime and help.

I already asked lifetimehosting to change the nameservers and they will be active within the next 24 hours. But the system does not accept my own domain name. Then it redirects me to godaddy? I also have a domain on godaddy that I never used but I would like to cancel that one. So how can I proceed? Can I just continue with the siterubix and change it later? I am asking this question since sunday. Today I had some answers and links to videos, but they all seem to be focused on buying a domain in WA, But I already have my domain. www.wildwisewomenweb.co.education
How can I change my Nameservers now that my Domain is no accessible through GoDaddy?
Any help with this would be hugely appreciated!!
My kindest regards
Jason
I think your instructions may be out of date and need updating, can anyone help me with this in Godaddy as they seem to be making it difficult to leave

And when I've asked questions that give me the option for yes for community help, I don't know where to find the help that was given ? I'm finding this part quite confusing. which it would be if I've given a different non existent email address.
then, in the Instruction to the "Set up Your Domain Name Servers" (in the http://admin.1and1.com) sais (make sure you put them (DNS) in Lower case), but immediately below the screenshot shows up that both (Primary & Secondary) names in the Capital leters. So, that's the complete mess. Who can tell me what is the true way: in the Text of instruction? In the Notice to the Set up Your DNS? Or in the Screen shot? And if I should correct the DNS in GoDady to the lower case letters? In my military youth years I do remember as some of the guys who was admitted for the position to write instructions was got in the jail because he made the contradictory notices in the instructions he wrote. When the general said, 'so, now you understand how that important to write instructions correct way?' I am answered "I did learn different. Now I know how that important to admit the rite and yet responsible man for the position of writing instructions." The investigator made the face and said to the general: "That's could be. That's make sens." Any way I am stock with the DNS transfer.
I've followed all of these steps with Network Solutions, and it shows on their end that my DNS settings are updated, pointing to the correct ones here at WA. however, when I go to the Domains panel here at WA, add the domain I am pointing and click, I get an error: "Oops! We ran into an error on our side and we're working on a fix.." It also adds the domain to the "transfer" box, where when I click, it then takes me to the payment window. Wondering what to do. I will set up a support ticket.
Anyone to suggest the solution here?
FOLLOWING UP:
I have contacted Google Domains and they told me that I need to give to my new hosting, the MX records of Gsuite and to add this info to my account.
So I have these right now, but where should I add them?
Until I setup my sites, I would like to get credit for any referrals that click on these links. Can anyone tell me how to ensure the links are for my affiliate link?
I have a little problem. I am hosting my own Nameserver and I use my domain not only for my website but for my remote desktop, VPN, SMTP, AD and so on.
So I am not able to change the nameserver for my domain to point at your nameserver.
Is there a solution how I am able to point at your nameserver and still host my services with my domain?
I purchased my DN rom GoDaddy@a week ago. Is this the problem?
I'm trying to transfer my DN from GoDaddy without having to wait the 60 days.
Does anyone know how to Transfer a NEW Domain Name from GoDaddy to WA?
pregnancyandlowbackpain.com if no www. is placed in it. once you try to open my site at Google console it will give me 404 error. If I open with the one with www. it will open immediately.
Google console said my host site does not welcome domains with www.
My question now is, how can I make this my site useful to me? since I built this site 7 months ago I have been fighting one problem or the other.

I am working on setting up a G Suite account. The first step is to verify that I am the owner of (domain name). In order to do so I need to add the following TXT record to my DNS settings:
google-site-verification=M9XmarM_kAMveN08Dc8B5I9e-TG9t5xtEh0bPIMEI78
Can you please add this for me?
Once this is added, please delete any existing MX records and add Google's MX records.
Please let me know when this has been completed.
Thanks,
1. Does it now mean that the website previously registered and hosted on DreamHost, is now hosted here on WA?
The domain registration remains with DreamHost which is where I will renew each year?
2. Since doing that, I have set up my website here but I don't see any of the pages/posts from the website that I had created there. How do I get those?
Hope that makes sense.
Thanks folks
Gary
Thank you,
Terese
This is doing my head in! HELP PLEASE!!
Also, when would be the right time to cancel my GoDaddy hosting?
Thanks!!!
1) Click "Domains" tab next to WordPressTools.
2) Check the Domain Box on the bottom left side where your domains are.
3) Click the "Name Servers" tab.
4) Click "Use Custom Nameservers"
This is where I had to call HostMonster..
So I didn't see that you could scroll down because it doesn't look like there's a section to scroll down from how it's cut off. Now I know and just wanted to make sure others didn't waste time contacting them after reading this.
They said it could take up to 4 hours to take effect.
Hope this has helped!
I have no idea what this is and how am i supposed to login if i have never even heard of or registered here? i need some clarification here.
I purchased my domain from godaddy recently and the just completed the last step of adding the hosting link or something on godaddy, but what is this " http://admin.1and1.com" thing? i cannot proceed to the next step until i figure this out, can someone please help here thanks, i dont understand this tech stuff, my brain does not function on this level, your help would really be appreciated
So, I wait to move on to build out the web page until the transfer is complete.
The email comes over as well, correct?

I need a bit of clarification...
I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed with what I have to do or really confused what the WA Premium program is offering me in terms of domain names and web hosting....
I have a GoDaddy WordPress hosting account with 3 domain names purchased from GoDaddy.
Each of my GD domain names comes with it's own email account.
-What happens or what needs to happen to have everything come under WA?
-Do I need to close out my GoDaddy WP hosting account?
-If so, do I lose my entire email accounts?
-Will I be able to have email access for the domain names hosted at WA?
I'm afraid to do anything "techie" like changing anything in case I lose so much email info...
Thanks for any guidance anyone can offer.
Lost in tech overwhelm,
Joanne
I own a domain at freelogoservices.com , actually forgot I owned it until today lol ;-)
Anyway I'm trying to link it to here, when I go into the DNS and Nameserver settings I first see image 1. When I click on My Nameservers I get image 2...Question is what do I input into those fields so I can host my domain here? The lesson only includes 2 ns settings...I'm confused lol...
Thanks Shelle :-D
It was always hosted by WA. now everything is WA the domain name I bought through here and of course I set it up on this server going all the way through course 1 so far.
I'm trying to make sure my DNS settings are okay but I don't know where to look.
"To Set up Your Domain Name Servers" instructions.
It tells me to :
Log in to your 1&! account manager at http://admin.1and1.com
i go to that link but I do not know how to sign in. I have never been to this page before
Domain Name System Security Extensions (DNSSEC) protect your domain from attacks such as DNS cache poison attacks and DNS spoofing. Your DNS provider can provide you with the values you need to activate DNSSEC.
Ok, so who can help me resolve this? When I transfer to WA for hosting, This is immediately after.
Log in to your GoDaddy account.
Next to Domains, click Manage.
How you set your custom nameservers will depend on the view of your account.
Card View
In Card View, your account will look something like this:
Select the domain name you want to use, click Text Icon (Settings) and select Manage DNS.
Under Nameservers, click Change.
Under Choose your new nameserver type, select Custom.
Enter the custom nameservers your hosting provider gave you and click Save.
