Introduction
Starting your online journey begins with two essential steps: purchasing a domain name and connecting it to your web host. If you’re using Brandurance.com, this process is streamlined to help you launch your brand quickly and professionally. This guide walks you through each phase using Brandurance’s platform.
Phase 1: Buy a Domain Name on Brandurance.com
A domain name is your website’s address (e.g., yourbrand.com). Brandurance.com offers a simple and secure way to register your domain.
Step 1: Search for Your Domain
Visit Brandurance.com and use the domain search tool to check the availability of your desired name.
Tips for Choosing:
- Keep it short, memorable, and easy to spell.
- Prefer common extensions like
.com,.in, or.net.
Step 2: Register Your Domain
Once you find an available domain:
- Add it to your cart.
- Choose add-ons like Domain Privacy Protection to keep your contact details private.
- Complete the checkout process to become the official registrant.
Phase 2: Connect Your Domain to Brandurance Hosting
Brandurance also offers web hosting, making it easy to manage both your domain and hosting in one place.
Step 1: Get Your Hosting Plan
Sign up for a hosting plan on Brandurance.com. Once activated, you’ll receive connection details—usually nameservers or an IP address.
Step 2: Update DNS Settings
If your domain is registered with Brandurance:
- Log in to your Brandurance dashboard.
- Go to Domain Management > DNS Settings.
- Choose the method below:
Option A: Nameserver Method (Recommended)
- Enter the nameservers provided by Brandurance (e.g.,
ns1.brandurance.com,ns2.brandurance.com). - Save the changes.
Option B: A Record Method (Alternative)
- Use the IP address provided by Brandurance.
- Update the A record (
@) and CNAME record (www) to point to your hosting server.
Step 3: Wait for DNS Propagation
DNS changes may take a few minutes to 48 hours to propagate globally. During this time, your site may be temporarily unavailable.
Step 4: Finalize Setup
Once propagation is complete:
- Log in to your Brandurance hosting control panel.
- Add your domain to the hosting account.
- Upload your website files or install a CMS like WordPress.
Conclusion
Using Brandurance.com simplifies the process of launching your website. From domain registration to hosting setup, everything is integrated to help you build your brand online with ease.
