Pointing a Domain Name to my Hosting Account.

Now that you have purchased your domain name and signed up for a hosting account, it is time to point your domain name to the ip address of the server on which you will be hosting your site.

This can be acheived in two ways:

1. Changing the Name Servers (NS Records) associated with your domain name to the name servers that associated with the ip address of your new server. The NS records associated with your domain must be updated through the registrar.

2. Changing the A record in the zone file of your domain to the ip address of your new server.
