I created a website before joining WA and I want to add it to my WA account but in order to do so I need the DNS. What if I don't remember where or whom I purchased this domain name from? Is there a way I can find this out online?

Edit: even better:
go here and type your domain in the input box:
https://www.internic.net/whois.html
Sometimes the information given is a bit misleading, though. Like mine says Enom, when I actually registered it with Namecheap. Namecheap was acting as a reseller to Enom. It should at least closer to the answer. If you contact the support at the registrar, they should be able to help you, even if you used a reseller.

If you go here:
https://www.whatsmydns.net/
and type in your domain name. Change the dropdown that says "A" to "NS", and it will tell you what nameservers your domain is pointed to. That SHOULD give you the answer you are looking for.
Alternatively, do a search in your email account for your domain name. You should have an email from the registrar as one of your first emails. Assuming you are the kind of person who keeps emails. I hope! ;-)

I have a .de Domain that won't work with the DNS changes. My Host also says I could try it again if the nameservers know the Domain. My questions are now if i even can get an .de domain? Is WA even concepted for German websites? Will german content even work with WA keyword tool?

After updating the DNS changes for a domain, it can take up to 2 to 3 days for those changes to be replicated throughout the internet.
You are interested in two web servers knowing that change, the WA web server and the web server that you use to go out to the internet, that is your Internet Service Providers web server. Once both those servers know the DNS changes, you should be all set for the next step.
So you may just have to wait.
Oh, the 2 to 3 days do not have to be traditional business days.
In the meantime, work with the WA keyword tool to confirm or otherwise if German content will work. I would be very surprised if it does not.

You should be able to change the DNS to WA's nameservers
ns1.mywahosting.com
ns2.mywahosting.com
If your registrar doesn't allow for NS changes, then you'll need to get a domain that allows you to change the nameservers. If you have to get a new domain, I'd recommend going with WA as your registrar. https://my.wealthyaffiliate.com/websites/domains
ns1.mywahosting.com
ns2.mywahosting.com

I really think that I am at a loss! I have to admit that I am a newbie in online marketing. In the first place I had a wrong understanding of Domain Name. I thought it was my company name that I registered with the Georgia Office of Secretary of State (De La Cruz Enterprises, LLC) and the website that I was intending to use (www.delacruzentllc.com) which I did not buy anywhere else. I would like to get my Domain Name through WA Hosting. PLEASE HELP !!!

Go to the SiteRubix menu item, click it to open the secondary menu. Select site Domains and purchase your domain there. You do not need to add the www. to the front of the domain these days.

Hi there,
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,

You can find WA training on setting your DNS addresses at godaddy by typing the words "dns godaddy" (without the quotes) into the WA search bar. (You shoukd look for the most recent training since godaddy has changed their site several times over the years.)

Hi,
Login to your GoDaddy account, then on the first page it takes you to.... at the top, it will say "Domains" and should display your actual Domain Name. Look to the right of that box then click on DNS then look for this "Nameserver" Click on the "Change" Button Select "Custom" and add following for WA :
http://NS1.MYWAHOSTING.COM
http://NS2.MYWAHOSTING.COM
In the respective boxes
Then click save at the bottom, and you should be good to go.
You may get an email notification from Go Daddy about the recent changes follow any instructions if needed.
Note: it could take a bit for the change to reflect. If you still have any issues Go Daddy is pretty awesome and rendering assistance.
Hope this helps. ')

HI Faraha, I was told at Go Daddy that I cannot transfer my Domain name before December 2nd. it has to be 60 days from when I bought it to be able to make the change. If you bought yours longer than 60 days from Go Daddy, just call them they will walk you through the process, they were very helpful to me, did not give me any problem at all

Thank you for trying to help, but it turns out I cannot transfer my Domain Name as yet I would have had to own

Thank you for the information, but I cannot transfer my Domain name before 60 days after purchasing it at Go Daddy, and it has not been 60 days as yet not until Dec. 2nd, I just had to purchase one from WA.

Domain names do not need to be transferred to use them for hosting sites at WA.
You can use the domain name even while it's still stuck at godaddy by changing the DNS address settings to point the domain at WA's hosting servers. NoMo9-5Grind has provided the steps to do that above.
