How do I connect my domain to my WordPress website hosted with Shoutcast Hosting

Connecting your domain to your hosting account is straightforward. Follow the steps below to get everything set up.

🌐 1. Update your domain’s nameservers

Log in to your domain provider’s control panel and open the DNS or Nameserver settings. Remove any existing nameservers and replace them with:

• ns1.shoutcasthosting.ie
• ns2.shoutcasthosting.ie

If you’re unsure how to update nameservers, your domain provider’s support team can assist you.

⏳ 2. Allow time for DNS propagation

Once the nameservers are updated, the changes may take up to 48 hours to fully propagate worldwide. Most of the time it’s quicker, but 48 hours is the maximum.

🖥️ 3. Add your domain to your hosting account

After the nameserver change becomes active:

1. Log in to your cPanel account with us.
2. Go to Domains → Add a Domain.
3. Enter your domain name to link it to your hosting account.

🛠️ 4. Install WordPress on your domain

Once the domain has been added:

1. Open cPanel again.
2. Go to WordPress Manager / WordPress Toolkit.
3. Select Install WordPress on your newly added domain.

Your WordPress site will now be ready to build.
