Point a domain to miHosting

Introduction

For your domain to load the website hosted at miHosting, it must point to the correct server. This can be done in two ways: by changing the domain nameservers or by editing specific DNS records such as the A record.

The best choice depends on whether you want miHosting to manage the whole DNS zone or only the website.

Ways to point the domain

Option 1: change the nameservers

This is the easiest option when you want miHosting to manage the full DNS zone of the domain.

Option 2: change only some records

This is useful if you prefer to keep DNS management with another provider and only want to point the website to your hosting account.

Steps to point a domain to miHosting

1. Check which DNS or IP you need to use.
2. Log in to the domain registrar panel.
3. Look for the nameservers or DNS section.
4. Replace the current nameservers with miHosting’s, or edit the A record if you only want to point the website.
5. Save the changes.
6. Wait for propagation.

When an A record is the better option

Using an A record can be a good idea if:

• You want to keep email with another provider.
• You have external verifications or records that you do not want to move.
• You prefer to keep DNS management where it already is.

In that case, also review www, MX and TXT records related to email or external services.

Conclusion

To point a domain to miHosting, you can either change the nameservers or edit specific records. If you want the simplest setup, changing the full DNS is usually the most practical choice. If you need to keep other external services, pointing only the website may be better.
