TL;DR

Quick Summary: To connect your domain, you need to log in to your domain registrar and update the "Nameservers" to AmanaFlow's custom ones (e.g., ns1.amanaflow.cloud). Propagation takes 1-24 hours.

Step 1: Find Your AmanaFlow Nameservers

When you signed up for hosting, you received a Welcome Email. Inside, you will find your assigned nameservers. They usually look like this:

  • ns1.amanaflow.cloud
  • ns2.amanaflow.cloud

Step 2: Log in to your Domain Registrar

Whether you use Namecheap, GoDaddy, Google, or any other registrar, the process is similar.

  1. Find your Domain List.
  2. Click Manage or Edit on your chosen domain.
  3. Look for a section labeled Nameservers or DNS Settings.

Step 3: Update to Custom Nameservers

  1. Select "Custom DNS" or "Edit Nameservers."
  2. Delete any existing nameservers.
  3. Paste the AmanaFlow nameservers you found in Step 1.
  4. Save Changes.

Step 4: Wait for Propagation

This is the hardest part. The global DNS network needs to update.

  • Local Propagation: 1-2 hours.
  • Global Propagation: Up to 24 hours. You can monitor the progress at DNSChecker.org.

Pro Tip: Check your SSL

Once pointed, our AutoSSL system will automatically try to issue an SSL certificate. This usually takes about 30-60 minutes after the domain is correctly pointed.

FAQ

Q: Will my email stop working?
A: If you have existing email settings elsewhere, yes. You will need to recreate your mailboxes in cPanel or update your MX records.

Q: Can I just use an A Record instead?
A: Yes, but using nameservers is recommended as it allows us to manage all your DNS records in one place centrally.
