Set-up checklist

  1. Point your domain at us. If we registered the domain it is done already. Otherwise set the nameservers at your registrar to ns1.ashhost.co.nz, ns2.ashhost.co.nz, ns3.ashhost.co.nz – see Nameservers and DNS. Changes take up to 24–48 hours to spread.
  2. Upload or install the site. Use the one-click installer for WordPress (Installing WordPress) or upload your files to public_html (Uploading files). Moving from another host? See Transferring a website and MySQL database.
  3. Turn on SSL. Free AutoSSL certificates are issued automatically once the domain points at us – SSL certificates.
  4. Create email accounts in cPanel and set them up on your devices – Creating email accounts and Email settings for phones and computers.

Before your domain points at us

You can reach cPanel at host.ashhost.co.nz:2083 and upload files straight away – the site is live on your domain once DNS has changed over.
