Overview
To make your domain work with EGPHP hosting, you need to point it to our servers. There are two methods: using our nameservers or adding DNS records at your current registrar.
Method 1: Use EGPHP Nameservers (Recommended)
This method gives EGPHP full control over your DNS, making it easier to manage everything in one place.
Get Your Nameservers
Find your assigned nameservers in your welcome email or EGPNL dashboard. They typically look like ns1.egphp.com and ns2.egphp.com.
Log In to Your Domain Registrar
Go to where you purchased your domain (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Google Domains, etc.) and log in.
Find Nameserver Settings
Look for "Nameservers", "DNS", or "Domain Settings" in your registrar's dashboard.
Update Nameservers
Change from default nameservers to custom nameservers and enter the EGPHP nameservers provided.
Method 2: Add DNS Records
If you want to keep your existing nameservers (for email or other services), add these records instead:
| Type | Name | Value | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | @ |
Your Server IP |
3600 |
| A | www |
Your Server IP |
3600 |
| CNAME | www |
yourdomain.com |
3600 |
Add Domain to EGPNL
After updating DNS, add your domain in EGPNL:
- Log in to EGPNL
- Go to Domains
- Click Add Domain
- Enter your domain name (without www)
- Click Create
Verify Connection
To check if your domain is properly connected:
Method 1: Visit Your Domain
Open your browser and go to your domain. You should see your website or the EGPHP default page.
Method 2: Use DNS Lookup
Check your DNS records using online tools like:
Common Issues
Domain Not Resolving
- Wait 24-48 hours for DNS propagation
- Verify nameservers are correctly entered
- Check that the domain is added in EGPNL
Wrong Website Showing
- Clear browser cache
- Flush local DNS cache (
ipconfig /flushdnson Windows) - Wait for full propagation
