3. Changing Your DNS Settings
Once you have your domain name and hosting, there is one more step you have to take to get your site online. When you signed up for hosting, your host should have sent you a welcome email. In that email will be your DNS/nameservers. You have to get these from your hosting company. If you don’t know what they are, please contact your hosting company. You will need them for the next video where I show you how to change your DNS/nameservers so that your site will show up online when you type in the domain name.
