When setting up your domain with FastWebHost, it's crucial to configure the correct nameservers to ensure your website connects properly to our hosting services.
Log in to cPanel
Open your web browser and navigate to your cPanel login page. Typically, the URL will look something like this:
https://yourdomain.com/cpanel
or https://yourdomain.com:2083
Enter your cPanel username and password to log in.
Locate the Nameserver Information
Once logged in, look for the Account Information or General Information section. This is usually found on the right-hand side of the cPanel dashboard.
In this section, you will see details about your account, including your domain, IP address, and nameservers.
Identify Your Nameservers
The nameservers typically follow a format similar to:
ns1.fastwebhost.com
ns2.fastwebhost.com
Copy the Nameservers
Note down or copy the nameserver details. You will need these when configuring your domain registrar settings.
When you sign up for hosting with FastWebHost, you will receive a welcome email containing all the necessary details about your hosting account, including the nameservers. Search your inbox for an email with the subject line like "Welcome to FastWebHost" and locate the nameserver information.
Once you have the nameserver details, you’ll need to update them at your domain registrar. Here’s a general guide:
Log in to your domain registrar’s control panel.
Navigate to the DNS Settings or Nameserver Settings section.
Replace the existing nameservers with the ones provided by FastWebHost.
Save the changes and allow up to 24-48 hours for the DNS propagation.
1. What happens if I use incorrect nameservers? If the nameservers are incorrect, your domain will not point to your hosting account, resulting in your website being inaccessible.
2. Can I use custom nameservers? Yes, if you have set up private nameservers, you can use those instead of the default ones. Consult our support team for guidance on setting up private nameservers.
3. How can I confirm my nameservers are correctly updated? Use online tools like https://www.whatsmydns.net to check if your domain is resolving to the correct nameservers.
