‫Welcome back, my dear students.
‫And now in this lecture of the course, I'm going to show you how you can connect the domain name to
‫the Hostinger Web hosting.
‫If you have purchased a domain name from a different registrar for this particular lecture, we're going
‫to be using namecheap.com.
‫This is actually a domain registrar and there are currently running a sale for the.com domain for just
‫5.98 USD.
‫By the time you are seeing this video, this may be gone.
‫So let's just go ahead and let's try it out.
‫Let's see how it works.
‫First of all, what you have to do is to search for a domain name.
‫And I'm going to be searching my cool second.
‫Michael Second.
‫All right.
‫Let's just go ahead and let's hit on search.
‫And now you can see that this.com domain is also available for the microsecond.com.
‫Now, for this particular lecture, I'm going to be choosing the one which is the cheapest right here.
‫It says it is actually my cool second dot x, y, z for $2.
‫So I'll be selecting this add to cart.
‫This is going to be added into my cart and I'll click on checkout.
‫All right.
‫So once I click on checkout, I have to select confirm order.
‫After that.
‫Now you can see it is telling me to create an account, but since I already have an account with the
‫Namecheap.com, I'll be going ahead and I'll be entering my login details.
‫What you can do is that you can enter your details over here and then you can move forward.
‫Or let's just go ahead and let's try creating another account.
‫All right.
‫So I'm going to be writing in here tens second.
‫So once you have actually entered every single detail, now you can hit on create account and continue.
‫All right.
‫So once you basically sign up, now it is asking you for the company name if you are registering on
‫behalf of a company.
‫So if you are a person, if you have a company registered, you can enter the company name and everything.
‫But if you do not have a company registered, then what you can do is that you can uncheck this.
‫And then you can go ahead and you can enter your address details over here, select your country, add
‫your phone number, and once you're done with that, then what you have to do is to hit on continue.
‫So I'll be going ahead and I'll be entering my details over here and then I'll be hitting on Continue.
‫All right.
‫So once you have entered your details, now you can hit on continue.
‫And now you can hit on Continue.
‫All right.
‫So now here what you have to do is to enter your debit card if you want to pay via PayPal.
‫You can also pay via PayPal.
‫But I'll be going ahead and I'll be entering the debit card over here.
‫So after you have entered your credit card, now you can click on continue, and now your card will
‫be charged.
‫All right.
‫So now you can see that it says, thank you for your order.
‫Now your domain name is successfully done.
‫So now let's click on cross.
‫And now what you have to do, you have to click on dashboard.
‫So now once you have basically got your domain name from a different registrar, which is namecheap,
‫now what you want to do is that you want to connect this domain to the hostinger.
‫So how you can do that, let's just go ahead and let's click on hosting.
‫Now what you have to do, you have to click on these three dots.
‫Now you have to click on Add website.
‫Now you have to select Skip and click on Skip, and now you have to select this.
‫Use an existing domain.
‫You can click on Select, and now you have to enter your existing domain name, which is this.
‫All right.
‫So I'm going to be copying this domain name and I'm going to be pasting it right here.
‫After that, I'm going to hit on Continue.
‫And now you can see it says in order to use this domain, what you need to do is to change the name
‫server.
‫So now how we have to change the name server.
‫First of all, you have to actually go into the namecheap.com, log in, click on your dashboard, then
‫you have to select your domain and click on Manage over here.
‫Once you're done with that.
‫Now, what you have to do is to click on this name servers.
‫You have to click on this and then you have to select custom DNS.
‫And in here you have to paste the name servers that are here.
‫So first of all, we need to copy this required name server number one.
‫Let's just go ahead and let's paste it over here.
‫Now let's copy this Nameserver number two and let's paste it over here.
‫After that, you can click on check and this is now going to be done successfully.
‫Now they are saying that DNS server update may take up to 48 hours, but as I've told you that the website
‫was done previously within one hour, so it's best to wait for 48 hours, but this will be done maximum
‫in one hour or so.
‫All right.
‫So once you are actually done now, what you have to do is to click on continue.
‫And this is going to basically now connect the domain.
‫All right.
‫So here it says set nameservers to connect.
‫So now what you have to do is to click on Connect.
‫Let's click on.
‫Let's start.
‫And it says Log in to Namecheap.
‫Find all nameservers and change to hosting or nameservers, which is this which we have already done.
‫All right.
‫Now, what you have to do is to click on Continue.
‫And now let's just go ahead and let's hit on finish.
‫All right.
‫And now let's click on Connect again.
‫Let's see.
‫Let's click on Let's start.
‫And it's still showing this as the name server.
‫All right.
‫So now what I would actually recommend you to do is to just visit this website and keep visiting this
‫website.
‫All right.
‫Until you actually see that the website is registered successfully and then you can go ahead and you
‫can move forward.
‫But right now, if I just go ahead and if I click on manage site.
‫Then.
‫Now you can see that this is right here.
‫And domain status.
‫Not pointing to our name servers.
‫This error will be shown to you for approximately like 30 minutes and it will be done.
‫All right.
‫But there are still saying that it may take up to 24 hours to propagate, but do not worry, it will
‫be done actually in maximum of one hour.
‫If it doesn't wait for 24 hours and then you can contact the customer support.
‫So let's wait till this is actually done and then I'll be back.
‫All right.
‫So now there is one main and the most important thing that I forgot to tell you, and that is, after
‫some time of registering the domain name, you will get a verification link from the namecheap.
‫All right.
‫So make sure to open that up.
‫And verify your email address.
‫All right.
‫This is really very important.
‫Once you will actually verify your email address.
‫Then they will actually release your domain.
‫All right.
‫So this is really very important.
‫You can see that this was actually showing alert over here in the status and validity.
‫So now let's just go ahead and let's refresh this and hopefully it will be gone.
‫But it is still not gone.
‫You can see it says you have 15 days left to verify your contact info.
‫We have just verified that and if we click on verify contacts, it is resending the email and the email
‫is not being sent because apparently we have already verified it.
‫That is why it's not being sent.
‫So that is why you have to wait for at least maybe now it's actually the verification.
‫So you have to wait for some time because this is the first time you we are registering with the Namecheap.
‫That is why you have to do the verification.
‫All right.
‫They you have to verify by clicking on the email that, okay, you own this email and then you are registering
‫the domain because as I've told you, domain names are considered as a property.
‫And when you are registering it, you have to make sure that you do verify it with your email.
‫All right.
‫So let's wait till this is actually done.
‫And once this will be basically done, then the nameservers will be effective and then we will be basically
‫able to manage this domain name from here.
‫All right, my dear Sydney.
‫So after some time, probably like 30 minutes, this the error that was showing right here is now gone.
‫And you can see that this is how it's looking.
‫Similarly on the dashboard, my cool second, which is actually a domain name purchased from the Namecheap,
‫is now being shown over here.
‫And if we go into the security and the SSL then.
‫The SSL is also being shown as active.
‫However, if I visit the website, you can see it says the site cannot be reached.
‫So this can happen, as I've told you.
‫Even when everything will be done, you still have to wait for another 30 minutes.
‫So let's wait till this is also done and then I'll be back.
‫All right.
‫So now you can see that the domain name is now successfully active.
‫It took around 30 minutes for the domain name to actually appear, extra 30 minutes.
‫And now if you go ahead and you go to the hosting right here.
‫Now you can see that we have got three websites and if you click on the websites over here now, you
‫can see that we have got this of domain name as well.
‫And if we actually go into the domains right here, then this is actually the external domain which
‫is being shown over here.
‫So if you have got a domain name from a different registrar, then you can also use this hosting and
‫you can point that domain name to this particular hosting and then you can click on Manage.
‫And likewise you can go into the files file manager, install WordPress, you can go into the databases,
‫create a database, associate with that, and you can go ahead and you can use this domain exactly like
‫you are using the internal domain.
‫So this is going to be exactly similar.
‫It is not going to be much a difference.
‫So now this lecture brings this section to the end in the next lecture of the course, we're now going
‫to be working up with our second project.
