2) Setting up Hosting
Setting up Hosting
I can’t say enough good things about Dreamhost.
Not only are they economical, their admin is completely user friendly and helpful as you go along – so you can easily understand setting up hosting for your websites. They also have online customer support, knowledge bases and other resources to help you along.
Go to Domains> Manage Domains
Add Hosting to a Domain / Sub-Domain
Domain to host: Type in www.YOURDOMAIN.com
Select :
(There are a myriad of other options here but Dreamhost already has defaults selected which don’t need changing)
Scroll down and select = Fully Host This Domain
DreamHost will then provide you with your hosting servers which look like this:
- ns1.dreamhost.com
- ns2.dreamhost.com
- ns3.dreamhost.com
Point your Domain name to this server by Copying and Pasting those into your nameservers fields under the same domain name in NameCheap.
Simple!
