How do I point a domain name to hosting?

To point your domain name to website hosting, use one of the following methods:

Changing the list of DNS servers for the domain name
Connecting the domain name to hosting without modifying the list of DNS servers

After the domain is connected to hosting, you will be able to add the domain in the hosting control panel and build a website routinely.


Changing the list of DNS servers for the domain name

If the domain name is registered with another registrar:

You should change the list of DNS servers in your personal account on the website of the current domain registrar. Indicate the list of RU-CENTER's DNS servers for the domain:

ns3.nic.ru
ns4.nic.ru
ns8.nic.ru

DNS propagation can take up to 24 hours. The website will be unavailable during this period.

If the domain is registered with RU-CENTER:

  1. Log into the Manage your account section at https://www.nic.ru/ using your agreement number and password.

  2. Choose the Services section → My domains.

  3. Click on the link Delegate or Update in the DNS-servers field.

  4. In the Use DNS from RU-CENTER services section choose Hosting and click on the Save changes button. DNS propagation can take up to 24 hours.

Update the resource records (A, MX) on your DNS servers according to the list available in the hosting control panel → the "Hosting information" section.
