# How to Point a Domain to a Website

Pointing connects your domain name to the server where your website is hosted.

## Option 1: Change Nameservers

Use the nameservers supplied by the hosting provider. This moves full DNS management to that provider.

## Option 2: Change DNS Records

Keep the current nameservers and update the A or CNAME records to the hosting destination.

## Verify the Connection

- Check the root domain and www version.
- Confirm SSL is issued.
- Test email after any DNS change.
- Allow time for propagation.
