Setting Up Your Domain
Step 1: Registering
Using one of the domain registrars above, find your ideal domain and purchase/register it.
This will usually involve sharing a limited amount of information that is legally required to go onto the WHOIS database.
Note: Services such as Domaincontrol.com allow you to hide your information from the WHOIS database for a fee
Step 2: Nameservers
Now you will need to log into your domain control panel and set your domain up for the VlexoFree servers.
There is usually a section such as "DNS Settings" or similar, click that, and in the fields required, add the following data:
- ns1.vlexofree.com
- ns2.vlexofree.com
Click "accept" and you are done!
DNS settings may take up to 24 hours to propagate through the worldwide DNS servers.
Step 3: cPanel (For Additional Domains Only)
Now, you need to log into cPanel and select one of the following options;
- Addon Domains - This allows you to point, say, example.com to /public_html/example . In essence, it allows you to host two sites on one server!
cPanel "Addon Domains" Video Tour Available Here - Parked Domains - This allows you to have two domains point to exactly the same website, so you could have example.com, example.co.uk and example.net all show exactly the same website
