1. Locate your site URL on the hosting.com Dashboard:

   1. Log in to the Hosting Panel at https://my.hosting.com.

   2. In the left sidebar, click Managed WordPress:

      

   3. On the My Websites page, locate the site, and then click Manage:

      

   4. The site URL appears at the top of the page (for example, abc123.onrocket.site).

2. Log in to your GoDaddy account.

3. Navigate to the DNS management for the domain you want to point to hosting.com.

4. Locate the A record for your apex domain.

   Note

   This is either @ or your domain (for example, example.com).

5. To edit the record, click the pencil icon to the far right.

6. Locate the field Points to, and then add the IP address 104.19.154.92.

7. Click Save.

8. Locate the www record:

   • If the www record exists, edit it to point to your site URL (for example, abc123.onrocket.site).

     Name: www
     Host: Your site URL (abc123.onrocket.site)

9. That’s it! Your domain is now pointing to hosting.com.
