Hi, I am new to the web site business and I am in need of guidance please. I have a domain with dynadot and a different web host. Now how can I link my host with my domain. I am so confused wither i should be using a nameserver from dynadot to my host or my host to dynadot. How does it work and when i type the name servers in will it show the site immediately. Is there a tutorial on how this should all be done. I have already setup my index and ready to go i just don't know how to get my site up. I can give you all the information you want. Please guide me

Your web host should have given you two name servers to use. To link your domain to your web hosting, you will need to set your domain's name servers to the name servers your web host has given you. To do this, please follow these steps:

How do I set my name servers for my domain?

To set your name servers, please follow these steps:

Sign in to your Dynadot account.
Select "My Domains" from the left-side menu bar and click "Manage Domains" in the drop-down.
Check the box next to your domain name(s) and click on the "Action" button.
Choose "DNS Settings" from the "Action" list.
On the DNS page, select the "Name Servers" setting from the top drop-down menu.
There are two ways to set name servers:
- If you are adding new name servers, select "Enter new or existing Name Servers" from your list of choices and enter your new name servers in the provided fields.
- If you are using existing name servers, move down to the "Select from your Name Servers" option and choose the name servers from your existing list.
Press the "Save Name Server" button to save your changes.

Please be aware that it might take some time for your name server changes to propagate.

Alternatively, you can also set your Name Servers when transferring your domain. To do so, while your item is in the cart, please click on the hardware icon. It will prompt you through a short two step wizard and guide you through the set up process.
