Dns servers Smartyhost to dreamhost

February 9, 2020 by JJ 1 Comment

Not all hosting servers and admin panels  for domain names  management are very user-friendly. You will need to know more about  dns server addresses and forwarding  if you bought your domain from one provider and the webhosting from another provider.

Once upon a time I was with smarty host , but not anymore ( they got taken over and i moved to another domain host) [updated Feb 2020]

So when you want to point  you domain name that your bought with smartyhost  or godaddy to a another providers webhosting account , What do you do  ?

You will need to point  your domain name from the provider to point to Dreamhost (my webhosting server ) or then Bluehost ( if bluehost is your host).  I have some blogs on bluehost too.

So here is some useful info below.

 

Dreamhost DNS Servers Address

ns1.dreamhost.com

ns2.dreamhost.com

ns3.dreamhost.com

You can use this DNS settings server address above  for your new domain that you bought from any other domain host provider (even Australian domain name provider) to point to your US based hosting serving provider ( like Dreamhost ) where  you are hosting your wordpress blog or website

Dreamhost Plans 2020

If you are using bluehost hosting partner  then you will input the Bluehost servers addresses  as below ( new name server) which are

ns1.bluehost.com – 74.220.195.31
ns2.bluehost.com – 69.89.16.4

If you are  pointing it to Dreamhost use the above  dreamhost name servers instead

Alternatively you could get both  your  domain name and webhosting both with same provider like dreamhost or bluehost and then you dont have to bother about adjusting any server addresses to get it all working

How to point your domain name to a Godaddy ultimate hosting account ?

If you have got your domain name with some other domain name registrant company and need to point it to your godaddy ultimate hosting account. Than all you need is the server ip  address of your godaddy hosting account. This should work with most different godaddy hosting accounts apart from ultimate too.

Go to your ultimate hosting account and click on server to get the server ip address (image below)

get godaddy nameserver address

Login to where yo have the domain name registered and got to dns settings,  go to @ host and enter this  ip address you got from your go daddy ultimate server and its done. It should point to  your new hosting account soon.

If the domain name was pointed  to some other host earlier, check that there is no old cname record in the dns setting , if there is then just delete it. The name servers will automatically get refreshed.

Godaddy Deals from $5.50 a month 

If you want to point your domain name from owned from one godaddy account  to point to another  godaddy hosting account too, then you just need to update the server ip address only in which account the name is held  and remove any old cname records as well.  Deals – check out the new godaddy ultimate 3 year deal  which has latest version of secure phpadmin

    I seldom leave remarks, but i didd some searching and wound up here Dns servers Smartyhost to dreamhost | Digital Grog | Technology Blog Australia.

    And I actually do have a couple of questions for you if you tend
    not to mind. Is it only me or does it look as if like some of the responses look as
    if they are left by brain dead visitors? 😛 And, if you are
    writing at additional sites, I’d like to follow everything fresh you have to post.
    Could yoou list of every one of your communal sites like your
    Facebook page, twitter feed, or linkedin profile?
