Just a friendly reminder that WordPress is a website-building platform that requires an active domain name connected to your hosting account before it can be installed and used.

If your domain is registered with another provider, please make sure it is pointed to your hosting account with us. Once your domain is connected and resolving correctly, you can install WordPress and begin building your website at any time.

To point your domain to Web Host Pro, contact your domain registrar and update your nameservers to:

ns1.webhost.pro
ns2.webhost.pro
ns3.webhost.pro

In most cases, the change is recognized within an hour, although full DNS propagation can occasionally take longer.

If you do not have a domain name yet, we can also set up a free subdomain for you, such as:

yourbusiness.webhostpros.com

This allows you to start building your website immediately without the cost of registering a domain name.
