e.g. if you choose the Plus 36 month price -

$6.95/month

the computation is:

Now, if you’re like me who bought

created by Joyce Villarisco (joycevillarisco.com)

their domain from another registrar

created by Joyce Villarisco (joycevillarisco.com)

you’ll need to do these two steps

created by Joyce Villarisco (joycevillarisco.com)

so you can access your Wordpress

admin page successfully

created by Joyce Villarisco (joycevillarisco.com)

1.Disconnect your domain

created by Joyce Villarisco (joycevillarisco.com)

If your domain is connected to another

website

created by Joyce Villarisco (joycevillarisco.com)

like Strikingly, Squarespace or Wix

created by Joyce Villarisco (joycevillarisco.com)

you’ll have to remove that site’s DNS and

created by Joyce Villarisco (joycevillarisco.com)

and do step number 2:

created by Joyce Villarisco (joycevillarisco.com)

2. Point domain to

Hostmonster Is your domain connecte

created by Joyce Villarisco (joycevillarisco.com)

Go to your registrar (where you bought

your domain)

created by Joyce Villarisco (joycevillarisco.com)

I bought mine at register.com

created by Joyce Villarisco (joycevillarisco.com)

created by Joyce Villarisco (joycevillarisco.com)

Go login to your account

created by Joyce Villarisco (joycevillarisco.com)

Choose the domain you want to manage

created by Joyce Villarisco (joycevillarisco.com)

created by Joyce Villarisco (joycevillarisco.com)

Look for DNS or nameservers

created by Joyce Villarisco (joycevillarisco.com)

created by Joyce Villarisco (joycevillarisco.com)

Then remove your registrar’s default

nameservers

created by Joyce Villarisco (joycevillarisco.com)

and replace it with Hostmonster’s nameservers:

created by Joyce Villarisco (joycevillarisco.com)

ns1.hostmonster.comns2.hostmonster.com

created by Joyce Villarisco (joycevillarisco.com)

Wait for 24-48 hours

created by Joyce Villarisco (joycevillarisco.com)

for the new nameservers to

connect

created by Joyce Villarisco (joycevillarisco.com)

or ‘propagate’ as techie peeps call it!

created by Joyce Villarisco (joycevillarisco.com)

After that, you should be able
