If you already have a registered domain, you can use it in your hosting service by following the steps below.

#### **Step 1: Check support for adding domains**

Make sure your hosting plan allows adding domains.\
Consult your hosting provider to confirm.

#### **Step 2: Access the cPanel**

1. Log in to the cPanel of your hosting service using your credentials.

2. Locate the section called **Domains** and click on the option **"Domains"**.

2. Enter the desired domain without the **www** prefix (e.g. `yourdomain.com`).

   Other fields, such as the subdomain and document root folder, will be filled in automatically.

   * If you need a custom configuration, you can edit the fields manually.

3. Click **"Submit"**.

   * Once created, a success message will appear, and the domain will be listed among your domains.

#### **Step 4: Update the domain DNS**

If the domain was purchased outside of Scriptcase-Host, you must access the domain configuration panel at the registrar where it was purchased and change the name servers (DNS). Update the DNS to the following values:

```
ns1.myscriptcase.host

ns2.myscriptcase.host

ns3.myscriptcase.host

ns4.scriptcase.host

ns5.scriptcase.host
```

**Important**: If the domain was purchased directly from Scriptcase-Host, this step is not necessary as the DNS will be configured automatically.

### **Final Tips**

* Wait for DNS propagation, which can take up to 24 hours to complete.

* Check if the domain is working correctly by accessing it in your browser.

* If you encounter any issues, contact our hosting support team.
