Using your existing domain name with SiteGround is easy! You simply have to point it to your SiteGround account by replacing your old host DNS settings with the SiteGround ones.
In this section you will find answers of the following questions:
To find the correct DNS settings for your domain name you need to be logged into your Customer Area first. From the Customer Area index continue to the My Account Section.

On the next page proceed with the Manage button in the Manage column of the account table.

You will find the correct DNS settings listed in the following way:

Although it is not very common, some domain registrars may require that you also provide the corresponding IP addresses apart from the names of the DNS settings. You will find the correct IP addresses listed next to the ns1 and ns2 settings.

Note: The DNS settings listed above are given as an example and are not the ones you will find in your Customer Area.
To change the DNS settings of your domain name, you need to login to the domain name management tool, provided by the organization that registered it for you. Here you can see how to change the DNS settings of your domain name according to your Domain Registrar.
In case you do not have access to such a management tool, you need to contact your Domain Registrar to change the DNS settings for you.
Please note that once you change the DNS settings of your domain name, it would take up to 48 hours for your domain to start pointing to the new location. The reason is that some registrars update their DNS information once every 48 hours.
Changing DNS settings does not change your domain name provider. If you would like to transfer the domain to SiteGround and thus have it managed by the same organization as your hosting account you need to order a domain transfer. Click here to learn how to do this.
