Domain, Wordpress and host gator?

samuelbell · 07-16-2009, 11:35 AM

Hello

I have no clue what to do, Can anyone help me out?

I have my domain on go daddy, and an account on host gator, but I don’t know how to link to two together. Once they are both connected I would like to install wordpress.

Any advice is most appreciated.

Hey, what you need to do is set up your GoDaddy DNS Servers to point to Host Gator's servers.

If you want help with this HostGator's technical support will walk you through it for free.

Hostgator should have sent you an email with your DNS server settings. Just go onto GoDaddy and go to your domain's settings to change the DNS servers to the two that Hostgator sent you.

Then, also in the Hostgator email, go to your CPanel. There you can set up WordPress easily by simply going to Fantastico under Software/Services.
