If you have purchased web hosting from myglobalHOST but your domain name is registered with another domain registrar, you need to point your domain to myglobalHOST before your website can load from your hosting account.

Fortunately, connecting a domain to myglobalHOST is simple. In most cases, you only need to replace your domain’s existing nameservers with the nameservers provided with your myglobalHOST hosting account.

In this complete guide, you will learn:

• What domain pointing means
• How nameservers and DNS work
• Where to find your myglobalHOST nameservers
• How to change nameservers at your domain registrar
• How long DNS propagation takes
• How to check whether your domain is pointing correctly
• What to do if your website still does not load
• When you should use DNS records instead of changing nameservers
• What to do after your domain starts pointing to myglobalHOST

What Does Pointing a Domain to Hosting Mean?

Your domain name and web hosting account are two different services.

Think of your domain as the address of your website and your hosting account as the place where your website’s files, databases, emails and other data are stored.

For example: example.com might be registered with one domain registrar while the website itself is hosted on a myglobalHOST server.

The internet therefore needs to know: “Which server should handle requests for example.com?” DNS provides this information.

By pointing your domain to myglobalHOST, you instruct the Domain Name System (DNS) to direct visitors requesting your domain toward the server hosting your website.

What Are Nameservers?

Nameservers are an important part of the Domain Name System.

They tell the internet which DNS servers are authoritative for your domain.

A typical nameserver looks like:

ns1.example.com

ns2.example.com

When you use myglobalHOST nameservers, DNS management for the domain is delegated to the DNS infrastructure associated with your myglobalHOST hosting service.

This allows DNS records for your website, email and other services to be managed from your hosting environment.

What Are the myglobalHOST Nameservers?

The nameservers currently documented for myglobalHOST hosting are:

Primary Nameserver

ns1.myglobalhost.in

Secondary Nameserver

ns2.myglobalhost.in

However, we strongly recommend checking the hosting account welcome email you received after activation.

Depending on your hosting service or server configuration, the nameserver information assigned to your account should always be confirmed from your welcome email or hosting account details.

How to Point Your Domain to myglobalHOST

The exact appearance of the domain management panel differs between registrars, but the basic procedure is almost always the same.

Step 1: Find Your myglobalHOST Nameservers

First, locate the nameservers assigned to your hosting account.

Check the welcome/account-information email sent when your hosting service was activated.

You can also refer to:

Where to Find myglobalHOST Nameservers?
https://www.myglobalhost.net/kb/where-to-find-myglobalhost-nameservers/

Do not proceed until you know the correct nameservers for your hosting account.

Step 2: Log In to Your Domain Registrar

Log in to the company where your domain name is registered.

This may be myglobalHOST or another domain registrar.

Find the domain you want to connect to your hosting account and open its management settings.

Look for an option named something similar to:

• Nameservers
• DNS
• Manage DNS
• DNS Management
• Custom Nameservers
• Change Nameservers
• Name Server Settings

The exact wording depends on your registrar.

Step 3: Select Custom Nameservers

Many registrars provide options such as:

• Default Nameservers
• Registrar Nameservers
• Custom Nameservers

Select Custom Nameservers or the equivalent option.

You should then see fields where nameserver addresses can be entered.

Step 4: Replace the Existing Nameservers

Remove the existing nameservers and enter the nameservers assigned to your myglobalHOST hosting account.

For example:

ns1.myglobalhost.in

ns2.myglobalhost.in

Enter each nameserver in a separate field.

Important

Do not add https://, http://, / or any other characters.

Correct:

ns1.myglobalhost.in

Incorrect:

https://ns1.myglobalhost.in

Step 5: Save the Changes

Click Save, Update, Change Nameservers, or the equivalent button provided by your registrar.

Your registrar may ask you to confirm the change through:

• Email verification
• OTP
• Two-factor authentication
• Account password

Complete the verification if required.

Once saved successfully, the nameserver change has been submitted.

However, this does not necessarily mean that everyone on the internet will immediately see the new server.

DNS propagation must now take place.

What Is DNS Propagation?

DNS information is cached by internet service providers, recursive DNS resolvers, operating systems, browsers and other network infrastructure.

When you change your domain’s nameservers or certain DNS records, these cached records may continue returning the previous information until they are refreshed.

The process during which updated DNS information becomes visible across different networks and locations is commonly called DNS propagation.

How Long Does DNS Propagation Take?

DNS changes are often visible much sooner, but nameserver changes can take up to approximately 24–48 hours to propagate completely.

You should therefore not assume that something is wrong simply because the website does not immediately start loading from your new hosting server.

During propagation:

• Your website may work for you but not for someone else.
• The website may work on mobile data but not Wi-Fi.
• One DNS resolver may show the new server while another still shows the old one.
• Email or other DNS-dependent services may temporarily behave differently.
• Different geographic locations may receive different DNS answers.

This can be normal during a DNS change.

How to Check Whether Your Domain Has Propagated

myglobalHOST provides a Free DNS Checker that can help you verify the DNS/nameserver status of your domain.

Use:

myglobalHOST Free DNS Checker
https://www.myglobalhost.net/dns-checker/

Enter your domain name and check its DNS information.

This is much more reliable than repeatedly refreshing your website because the website itself can be affected by browser, DNS, CDN and local-network caching.

Domain Registered With myglobalHOST: Do I Need to Change Nameservers?

Usually, if both your domain and hosting were purchased through myglobalHOST and the domain has already been correctly associated with the hosting service, manual nameserver changes may not be necessary.

However, always verify the domain’s current nameservers if the website is not loading as expected.

If your domain was registered elsewhere, you normally need to update the nameservers at the registrar where the domain is registered.

Nameservers vs DNS Records: What Is the Difference?

This distinction is important.

There are two common ways of connecting a domain to hosting.

Method 1: Change the Nameservers

Changing nameservers delegates DNS management for the domain to the new DNS provider.

For most customers who want myglobalHOST to host their website and manage the associated DNS zone, this is generally the easiest method.

For example:

ns1.myglobalhost.in

ns2.myglobalhost.in

After the change, DNS records can normally be managed through the hosting environment.

Method 2: Keep Existing Nameservers and Change DNS Records

Sometimes you should not change the nameservers.

For example, your DNS might currently be managed by:

• Cloudflare
• A third-party DNS provider
• Your company’s external DNS infrastructure
• Another service containing important custom DNS records

In this situation, you may prefer to keep your existing nameservers and update only the necessary DNS records.

This commonly involves pointing the domain’s A record to the IP address of your myglobalHOST server.

Advanced users can manage DNS records from cPanel using our guide:

How to Add, Edit and Manage DNS in cPanel
https://www.myglobalhost.net/kb/how-to-add-edit-and-manage-dns-in-cpanel/

Important Warning

Do not randomly change DNS records if your domain uses external email, verification records, APIs or other third-party services.

Incorrect DNS changes can interrupt:

• Website access
• Email delivery
• Subdomains
• Domain verification
• External applications
• Other domain-based services

If you are unsure whether you should change nameservers or individual DNS records, contact myglobalHOST support before making the change.

What Is an A Record?

An A record maps a hostname to an IPv4 address.

For example, conceptually:

example.com → 192.0.2.1

The actual IP address must be the IP address assigned to your hosting server.

Never copy an IP address from an online tutorial.

Use only the server IP provided with your hosting account.

What Is a CNAME Record?

A CNAME record points one hostname to another hostname rather than directly to an IP address.

For example, www.example.com may be configured to reference example.com.

CNAME records are frequently used for:

• www hostnames
• CDN services
• Verification systems
• SaaS applications
• Third-party platforms

What Are MX Records?

MX stands for Mail Exchanger.

MX records tell email systems which mail servers are responsible for receiving email for your domain.

This is why you need to be particularly careful when changing DNS if you use email services hosted somewhere other than your website.

Changing the wrong DNS records can cause email delivery problems even while the website continues working.

What Are TXT Records?

TXT records can contain text-based information used by different services.

They are commonly used for:

• SPF
• DKIM
• DMARC
• Domain ownership verification
• Google services
• Microsoft services
• Email authentication
• Third-party application verification

If your domain already has important TXT records, make sure you understand how they will be handled before moving DNS management.

How to Check Your Server IP in cPanel

If you need to point an A record manually, first identify the correct server IP for your hosting account.

Log in to cPanel.

If you need help accessing cPanel, follow:

How to Login to cPanel at myglobalHOST
https://www.myglobalhost.net/kb/how-to-login-to-cpanel-at-myglobalhost/

Once logged in, check the General Information section of cPanel.

Depending on the server configuration, you may see information such as the Shared IP Address or server/account details.

Always use the IP assigned to your actual hosting service.

What Should You Do After DNS Propagation?

Once the domain resolves correctly to your myglobalHOST hosting account, you can proceed with configuring your website.

1. Log In to cPanel

Use:

How to Login to cPanel at myglobalHOST
https://www.myglobalhost.net/kb/how-to-login-to-cpanel-at-myglobalhost/

2. Add the Domain to cPanel If Required

If this is an additional domain rather than the primary domain of your account, you may first need to add it to cPanel.

Follow:

How to Add a New Domain in cPanel Hosting – Addon Domain
https://www.myglobalhost.net/kb/how-to-add-a-new-domain-in-cpanel-hosting-addon-domain/

3. Install WordPress

If you are building a WordPress website, you can install WordPress using Softaculous.

Follow:

How to Install WordPress in cPanel Using Softaculous
https://www.myglobalhost.net/kb/how-to-install-wordpress-in-cpanel-using-softaculous/

4. Activate SSL/HTTPS

Once your domain correctly points to the hosting server, SSL can be issued/configured for the domain.

Follow:

How to Install & Activate SSL in cPanel Hosting
https://www.myglobalhost.net/kb/how-to-install-activate-ssl-in-cpanel-hosting/

You can also learn how to redirect visitors to HTTPS:

https://www.myglobalhost.net/kb/how-to-force-ssl-https-using-htaccess-for-wordpress-all-sites/

5. Create Your Professional Email Address

After the domain is connected, you can create email addresses such as:

name@yourdomain.com

Follow:

How to Create an Email Account in cPanel
https://www.myglobalhost.net/kb/how-to-create-an-email-account-in-cpanel/

Domain Pointing to myglobalHOST but Website Is Still Not Loading?

If you have changed the nameservers but the website is not working, check the following before making additional DNS changes.

1. Check DNS Propagation

Use the myglobalHOST DNS Checker:

https://www.myglobalhost.net/dns-checker/

If different locations are still returning old DNS information, allow additional propagation time.

2. Verify the Nameservers

Make sure there are no typing mistakes.

Check for:

• Missing characters
• Extra spaces
• Incorrect domain extensions
• Old nameservers remaining in the configuration

Compare the values against your hosting welcome email.

3. Confirm the Domain Exists in Your Hosting Account

Pointing DNS toward a server does not automatically configure every domain inside cPanel.

If it is an additional domain, make sure the domain has also been added to the hosting account.

Guide:

https://www.myglobalhost.net/kb/how-to-add-a-new-domain-in-cpanel-hosting-addon-domain/

4. Clear Local DNS Cache

Your computer or network may still have an older DNS result cached.

You can try:

• Restarting your browser
• Restarting your router
• Clearing the operating system DNS cache
• Testing through mobile data
• Testing through another internet connection

However, use a DNS checker to determine the actual DNS state rather than relying only on your own device.

5. Check Cloudflare

If your domain uses Cloudflare, your authoritative nameservers may be Cloudflare nameservers rather than myglobalHOST nameservers.

In that configuration, changing DNS records inside cPanel alone does not necessarily change the public DNS answer.

You need to manage the applicable DNS records through the authoritative DNS provider.

If you use Cloudflare, also read:

Does Cloudflare Hurt SEO? The Truth + Fix Guide
https://www.myglobalhost.net/kb/does-cloudflare-hurt-seo/

6. Check SSL Only After DNS Is Correct

If HTTPS is not working immediately after changing nameservers, first verify that the domain resolves to the correct hosting server.

SSL issuance and validation depend on correct domain configuration.

Do not treat an SSL warning during an incomplete DNS move as proof that the hosting account itself is faulty.

Can I Point Only a Subdomain to myglobalHOST?

Yes.

You do not necessarily need to move DNS management for the entire domain.

For example, you may want:

example.com

to remain on your existing server while:

shop.example.com

points to another hosting service.

This can normally be achieved by creating the appropriate DNS record for the subdomain at your authoritative DNS provider.

This is useful for:

• Separate applications
• Development environments
• Online stores
• SaaS applications
• APIs
• Customer portals
• Staging websites

For creating and managing subdomains inside cPanel, see:

How to Create a Sub Domain in cPanel Hosting
https://www.myglobalhost.net/kb/how-to-create-a-sub-domain-in-cpanel-hosting/

Will Changing Nameservers Delete My Website?

No.

Changing nameservers does not itself delete your website files.

It changes where DNS directs visitors.

However, this distinction is important:

Your old website may still physically exist on the previous hosting server, but visitors can begin reaching the new server after DNS changes propagate.

Therefore, do not cancel or delete your old hosting account before confirming that the website, database, email and other required data have been successfully migrated and tested.

If you are moving an existing WordPress website, follow our complete migration guide:

How to Migrate WordPress to a New Hosting Provider
https://www.myglobalhost.net/kb/how-to-migrate-wordpress-to-a-new-hosting-provider/

Will Changing Nameservers Affect Email?

It can.

Changing authoritative nameservers changes which DNS zone is used for your domain.

If your email is hosted through another provider, make sure the required:

• MX records
• SPF records
• DKIM records
• DMARC records
• Verification TXT records

exist in the new authoritative DNS zone before or as part of the DNS migration.

This is especially important for businesses that cannot tolerate email interruption.

Do I Need to Change Nameservers Every Time I Change Hosting?

If you move your website to a different hosting provider and that provider will also manage your authoritative DNS, nameserver changes may be required.

However, if you use independent DNS management such as Cloudflare, you may be able to leave the nameservers unchanged and simply update the appropriate DNS records to the new server.

This is one reason experienced website administrators sometimes keep DNS management separate from web hosting.

How Do I Know My Domain Is Correctly Pointed to myglobalHOST?

Your setup is generally complete when:

1. Your domain’s authoritative DNS configuration is correct.
2. DNS queries resolve toward the intended hosting infrastructure.
3. Your domain has been configured inside the appropriate cPanel account.
4. Your website loads from the intended myglobalHOST server.
5. HTTPS works with a valid SSL certificate.
6. Required email and other DNS services continue functioning.

Use the myglobalHOST DNS Checker to verify DNS status:

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I point my domain to myglobalHOST?

Log in to the registrar where your domain is registered, open its nameserver settings and replace the existing nameservers with the nameservers assigned to your myglobalHOST hosting account. Save the changes and allow time for DNS propagation.

What are the myglobalHOST nameservers?

The nameservers currently documented for myglobalHOST hosting are ns1.myglobalhost.in and ns2.myglobalhost.in. You should nevertheless confirm the nameservers assigned to your account from your hosting welcome email before changing DNS.

How long does it take to point a domain to myglobalHOST?

The nameserver change itself can normally be submitted immediately, but DNS information may take up to approximately 24–48 hours to propagate completely across different networks.

How can I check whether my domain has propagated?

Use the free myglobalHOST DNS Checker at:

https://www.myglobalhost.net/dns-checker/

It can help you verify your domain’s DNS/nameserver status instead of relying only on your local browser or internet connection.

Do I need to transfer my domain to myglobalHOST to use myglobalHOST hosting?

No. Domain registration and web hosting can be provided by different companies. You can keep your domain registered with another registrar and point it to your myglobalHOST hosting service.

Should I change nameservers or the A record?

For a standard setup where myglobalHOST will manage the domain’s DNS, changing the nameservers is generally simpler. If you already use an external DNS service such as Cloudflare or have important third-party DNS records, keeping the existing nameservers and updating the necessary DNS records may be preferable.

Will changing nameservers delete my website?

No. Changing nameservers does not delete website files. It changes which DNS infrastructure directs users to your website. Do not cancel your previous hosting account, however, until your website and any required email/data have been fully migrated and verified.

Why does my website work on mobile data but not Wi-Fi after changing nameservers?

Different networks may temporarily cache different DNS information. During propagation, your mobile provider may already have the new DNS information while your broadband provider still has the previous information cached.

Why is SSL not working after changing nameservers?

The domain may not yet be resolving correctly to the hosting server, or SSL validation/issuance may not yet have completed. Verify DNS first and then check the SSL configuration.

Conclusion

Pointing a domain to myglobalHOST is usually straightforward: obtain the correct nameservers for your hosting account, update them at your domain registrar, save the changes and allow DNS propagation to complete.

For most customers, changing nameservers is the easiest solution. More advanced configurations using Cloudflare, external email providers or third-party DNS services may require individual DNS records to be preserved or updated instead.

After your domain resolves correctly, you can continue setting up your website through cPanel, install WordPress, activate SSL, create professional email accounts and configure the rest of your hosting service.
