• Storage
• Bandwidth or traffic limits
• Number of websites
• Included features

• Manual setup requirements

You may receive activation information through your registered email address or customer portal.

7. Connecting Your Domain

To make your website accessible through your domain name, the domain must point to the appropriate hosting infrastructure.

Depending on your setup, you may need to configure:

• Nameservers
• A records
• CNAME records
• MX records
• TXT records

DNS changes may take time to propagate across the internet.

8. Nameserver Configuration

If NeuroHoster provides nameservers for your hosting service, you may need to replace your existing domain nameservers with the NeuroHoster-provided nameservers.

General process:

1. Log in to your domain registrar.
2. Open your domain management section.
3. Select the required domain.
4. Locate nameserver or DNS settings.
5. Replace the existing nameservers with the required nameservers.
6. Save the changes.
7. Wait for DNS propagation.
8. Verify that the domain points to your hosting service.

The exact nameserver values depend on your NeuroHoster hosting configuration.

9. DNS Records

DNS records control how your domain connects to different services.

Common DNS records include:

A Record

An A record points a domain or subdomain to an IPv4 address.

Example:

example.com → 192.0.2.1

CNAME Record

A CNAME record points one domain or subdomain to another hostname.

Example:

www.example.com → example.com

MX Record

MX records control email delivery for a domain.

TXT Record

TXT records are commonly used for:

• Domain verification
• Email authentication
• SPF
• DKIM
• DMARC
• Third-party services

Do not change DNS records unless you understand their purpose or have received appropriate instructions.

10. DNS Propagation

DNS changes are not always immediate.

After changing DNS settings, it may take time before the changes become visible across different networks and locations.

During propagation:

• Some users may see the old website.
• Other users may see the new website.
• Email routing may temporarily behave differently.
• DNS-checking tools may show different results.

Avoid repeatedly changing DNS settings during propagation unless necessary.

11. SSL Certificate

SSL helps secure communication between visitors and your website.

A properly configured SSL certificate allows your website to use:

https://

instead of:

http://

After SSL is activated, visitors may see a secure connection indicator in their browser.

12. HTTPS Configuration

After SSL activation:

1. Verify that your domain loads using HTTPS.
2. Check the website for mixed-content warnings.
3. Update website URLs where necessary.
4. Verify images, CSS, JavaScript, and other resources.
5. Test important website pages.

For WordPress websites, the website URL and WordPress URL may also need to use HTTPS.

13. WordPress Installation

If WordPress installation is available for your hosting service, you may install WordPress through the available hosting management interface.

General process:

1. Log in to your hosting control panel.
2. Locate the WordPress installer.
3. Select the domain.
4. Enter the required website information.
5. Create administrator credentials.
6. Start the installation.
7. Wait for installation to complete.
8. Open the WordPress administration area.

WordPress administrator credentials should be kept confidential.

14. WordPress Dashboard

The WordPress dashboard allows you to manage your website.

Common sections include:

• Posts
• Pages
• Media
