Hello-
I'm a complete rookie to website building and distribution. As a result, I'm pretty much clueless when people ask things like, "Did you buy your hosting from the domain registrar?" My what from the what?
I bought a domain name from Google, and subscribed to Nicepage hosting. I built what looks like a nice site using an online Nicepage template.
But.... now what? I been sent numerous help pages that tell me to do things like edit my A record (my what?).
For example:
Please go to the domain settings on the registrar website where you have registered the domain itself (Godaddy, HostGator, Amazon Route 53, Namecheap, etc.) and set up your domain to point to the NicePage:
Go to the control panel of your domain
Find something like 'Add a record to DNS' in the settings
Do one of the following or both:
For a domain:
Add a type A record with empty Host (Hostname) and the IP address 35.157.174.232
Please note that the way how to set Host or Hostname may be different for different hosting companies. In some cases, you should use @ instead of empty filed. If you already have an empty or @ A record, you need to change it.
This is gibberish to me. is there a dead-basic tutorial for me to learn such things?
