Common Questions

GoDaddy Tutorials FAQ

Quick answers to help you select the right guide and connect your domain to web hosting.

Which GoDaddy tutorial should I use first?

Choose the tutorial for the company hosting your website. Use the HostGator guide if your website is hosted there, or use the Bluehost guide for a Bluehost account.

Can my domain remain registered with GoDaddy while my website is hosted elsewhere?

Yes. Your domain registrar and web host can be different companies. You connect them by entering the nameservers or DNS records supplied by your web host.

Where do I find the nameservers I need?

Look in your hosting dashboard or the welcome email sent by your web host. Use the exact nameservers assigned to your account rather than copying an example from another website.

Where can I find GoDaddy video tutorials?

The embedded WP Cupid Blog playlist on this page collects GoDaddy video tutorials in one place and links directly to the complete YouTube playlist.

Why might my website not appear immediately after updating nameservers?

DNS changes can take time to update across the internet. Verify that the entries were saved correctly and allow time for propagation before troubleshooting further.
