This tutorial explains two ways to connect a domain to hosting in India: 1) change nameservers to VIPHOSTPE, or 2) keep registrar DNS and add an A record to your server IP. We also cover SSL and propagation checks.

1) Method A: Change Nameservers (Recommended)
- Find VIPHOSTPE nameservers — in your welcome email or cPanel home (e.g.,
ns1.viphostpe.com
,ns2.viphostpe.com
). - Open your domain registrar → manage domain → replace existing nameservers with VIPHOSTPE nameservers → save.
- Wait for DNS propagation (usually minutes, sometimes up to 4–24 hours).
- Add your domain in cPanel (Domains → Create/Addon) if not present.
2) Method B: Point A Record (Keep registrar DNS)
- Get your server IP — shown in cPanel (General Information) or welcome email.
- Open registrar DNS zone → create/modify A record for
@
andwww
→ set value = your server IP. - TTL: keep default (e.g., 300–3600 seconds). Save changes.
- Optional: Add
mail
records as needed (MX points to your mail host).
3) Verify DNS Propagation
- Use
dig yourdomain.com
or an online DNS checker to confirm new NS/A records. - Clear local DNS cache / try mobile data to avoid old cache.
4) Enable HTTPS (AutoSSL)
- cPanel → SSL/TLS Status → Run AutoSSL
- Force HTTPS in your CMS (e.g., WordPress → Settings → General URLs with https)
- Test at
https://yourdomain.com
(padlock should show)
5) Troubleshooting
- Still seeing old site? DNS not propagated yet. Give it time or lower TTL before changes.
- Mixed content warning? Use HTTPS URLs for images/scripts; run a search‑replace if needed.
- WWW works but root doesn’t? Ensure both
@
andwww
have correct A records or CNAME.
6) FAQs
Nameservers vs A record — which is better?
Nameservers are easier and managed entirely at VIPHOSTPE. A record is fine if you prefer registrar DNS.
How long does DNS take?
Often minutes, but may take up to 24 hours depending on cache/TTL.
Will I get SSL?
Yes. Run AutoSSL in cPanel after pointing your domain.
Domain ko hosting se connect karne ke do tareeke: nameservers change karke VIPHOSTPE par laao, ya registrar DNS me A record ko server IP par point karo. Neeche steps follow karo.

- Method A: Nameservers change (Recommended)
- Method B: A record point karo
- DNS propagation verify karo
- AutoSSL (HTTPS) enable karo
- Troubleshooting
- FAQs
1) Nameservers change
- VIPHOSTPE nameservers dhoondo (welcome email/cPanel). e.g.,
ns1.viphostpe.com
,ns2.viphostpe.com
. - Registrar me domain manage page par jao → nameservers ko VIPHOSTPE wale set karo → save.
- Propagation ka wait karo (minutes to 4–24h).
- cPanel me domain add ho (Domains → Create/Addon) — check kar lo.
2) A record point karo
- Server IP nikaalo (cPanel/Welcome email).
- Registrar DNS zone me
@
aurwww
ke liye A record banaao/modify karo → value = server IP. - TTL default rehne do (300–3600).
3) Propagation check
- Online DNS checker ya
dig
use karo. - Mobile data try karo / local cache clear karo.
4) AutoSSL (HTTPS)
- cPanel → SSL/TLS Status → AutoSSL run
- WordPress me https URLs set karo
5) Troubleshooting
- Old site dikh rahi? DNS cache — thoda time do.
- Mixed content? Images/scripts ko https par lao.
6) FAQs
Nameservers vs A record?
Nameservers easy & fully managed. A record tab sahi hai jab registrar DNS rakhna ho.
DNS me kitna time?
Usually minutes; kabhi‑kabhi 24h.
डोमेन को होस्टिंग से जोड़ने के दो तरीके हैं: (1) Nameservers बदलकर VIPHOSTPE पर पॉइंट करें, या (2) Registrar DNS पर रहते हुए A record को server IP पर सेट करें।

- DNS Propagation जाँचें
- AutoSSL (HTTPS) सक्षम करें
- Troubleshooting
- FAQs
1) Nameservers बदलें (Recommended)
- VIPHOSTPE nameservers ढूँढें — welcome email/cPanel (जैसे
ns1.viphostpe.com
,ns2.viphostpe.com
). - Registrar में domain settings खोलें → पुराने nameservers को VIPHOSTPE से replace करें → save.
- Propagation का इंतज़ार करें (आमतौर पर मिनटों में, कभी‑कभी 4–24h).
- cPanel में domain add/verify करें (Domains → Create/Addon).
2) A record सेट करें
- Server IP देखें (cPanel/Welcome email).
- Registrar DNS zone में
@
औरwww
के लिए A record बनाएं/बदलिए → value = server IP. - TTL default रखें (300–3600).
3) DNS Propagation जाँचें
- Online DNS checker या
dig
का उपयोग करें। - Local DNS cache clear करें या mobile data से जाँचें।
4) HTTPS सक्षम करें (AutoSSL)
- cPanel → SSL/TLS Status → AutoSSL run
- CMS/WordPress में https URLs सेट करें
5) Troubleshooting
- पुरानी साइट दिख रही है? DNS cache — थोड़ा समय दें।
- Mixed content warning? इमेज/स्क्रिप्ट्स के URLs को https पर कर दें।
6) FAQs
Nameservers बेहतर हैं या A record?
Nameservers आसान और पूरी तरह managed होते हैं; A record तब चुनें जब registrar DNS रखना हो।
DNS को propagate होने में कितना समय लगता है?
अधिकांश मामलों में कुछ मिनट; अधिकतम 24 घंटे लग सकते हैं।
