Connecting a domain
- Sign in to your Hover control panel using your chosen method of 2FA.
- Click Domains. If you have more than one domain, you will see a list of your domains here. Click the domain name that you'd like to use with Connect.
- For the Connect feature to function correctly, the domain must use Hover's nameservers, ns1.hover.com and ns2.hover.com.
Note: Before making any nameservers changes, ensure you're no longer using any services like email or third-party email hosting linked to the current DNS manager.
- Click the Connect tab.
- Connect a domain by choosing Select the desired service from the list of providers.
-
Each host will have step-by-step directions to connect a domain to their service. When you're done completing the steps, click Connect.
- You will see the following to confirm your connection was successful. It is important to note that DNS updates will typically take 30 minutes to take effect.
- The DNS tab will illustrate the records added automatically during the connection.
