Normally webmasters purchase a domain from one company and hosting from a different company and after completing the purchase, you've to manually connect the hosting server with your domain.

Here are the basic steps to connect the domain & hosting:

1. Complete the purchase of both domain & hosting.

3. In domain control panel, select the domain you wish to connect and click on Manage DNS or Advance DNS term. Different domain provider has the different name. Just make sure the term should have the DNS word.
4. Now search for the name "Nameservers" in the DNS editing zone. Here you've to put the DNS address which will provide by hosting company.
5. Check the email you received from the hosting company, in that email, you'll find hosting nameserver details. If you didn't get any mail then I suggest you to login in hosting control panel to find the nameserver.
6. Copy the Nameserver address provided by hosting company and paste in the domain Nameserver field.
7. Click on Save button and wait for 15-20 Mins.
