Once you’ve selected the right web hosting package, the next step is to complete your payment. After the payment is successful, you can access your hosting settings by navigating to the Web Hostings menu and clicking the Settings button.
Adding a Domain
Under the Domain tab, you can add domains to your hosting by clicking the Add domain button. This section will also show how many domains you’ve added and the IP address needed for your domain records.
You’ll have two options when you click the Add domain button. You can either add a domain registered with Rackhost or a domain managed by another registrar. For domains registered with Rackhost, simply select the domain from the drop-down menu. For domains from other registrars, enter the domain name in the provided field. You can also choose the PHP version for your hosting here, which is helpful if you’re running a software that requires a specific PHP version.
Once you’ve added the domain to the hosting, you can upload your website content via FTP.
Note: If you no longer need a domain connected to your hosting, you can disconnect it by clicking Select under the Domain tab, then scroll down and click the Delete button. It is important to note that disconnecting a domain will delete any content associated with it, so it’s wise to back up your files before proceeding. However, this process won’t affect your databases or the domain name itself—it only removes the content from the hosting environment.
