Thanks for following us until this tutorial. Here you will learn how to link your domain to your webhosting and get it started. Many people do not understand what does it mean by linking a domain to a webhosting. Well, it's pretty simple, imagine a domain is a license plate number and a webhosting is a car. If you buy a license plate number, you will have to put it on a car in order to use the car, hence the linking.
Now, you need to log in to your Namecheap account. If you have not purchase a domain name, please do so there. First, click on the "Manage Domains" button on the top bar.
After that, you can see your domain name. Click on it and click on "Transfer DNS to your webhost" button on the left bar. Now, open up your email and look for the receipt which was sent by HostGator. Remember the 2 nameservers given in the email? Now you have to put the nameservers in NS1 into field 1, while the NS2 into field 2. Then press save changes.
That's it. It's pretty simple. Please allow 24-48 hours till your domain goes online and you can see access it from your Control Panel. Next week, we will guide you on how to install Wordpress onto your website. See you.
