Pointing Your Domain to Your Hosting

There are two ways to connect a domain to your hosting: change the nameservers (so TekLan manages all DNS for the domain) or add an A record at your current registrar (if you want to keep DNS elsewhere). Both work — choose based on where you manage your DNS.

Option A: Change Nameservers (Recommended)

Point the domain to our nameservers. You do this wherever the domain is registered.

Our nameservers are:

ns29.teklanhosting.co.uk
ns30.teklanhosting.co.uk
ns31.teklanhosting.co.uk
ns32.teklanhosting.co.uk

If the domain is registered with TekLan

1. Log in to the client area.
2. Go to Services, find the domain, and click Manage.
3. In the right sidebar, click Nameservers (for .co.uk domains) or Name Servers (for .com, .org, and other gTLDs).
4. Enter the four nameservers above and save.

If the domain is registered elsewhere

Log in to your registrar's control panel and update the nameservers there. The exact location varies by registrar but is usually under DNS Settings or Domain Management. Enter the four nameservers above and save.

Once nameservers propagate (up to 48 hours, usually much faster) DNS is managed from your hosting control panel.

Option B: Add an A Record at Your Registrar

If you want to keep DNS at your current registrar (for example, you have email or other services on the same domain), just add an A record pointing to your TekLan IP address.

1. Find your hosting IP: log in to the client area, go to Services, and click Manage on your hosting service. The IP is shown on the service overview page.
2. Log in to your registrar's DNS manager.
3. Add or update the A record for @ (root domain) with your TekLan IP.
4. Add a second A record for www pointing to the same IP (or a CNAME for www pointing to the root domain).

Adding the Domain in Enhance

DNS alone is not enough — you also need to add the domain inside Enhance so the server knows to respond to it.

1. Log in to web.teklanhosting.co.uk.
2. Go to Websites and click Add Website.
3. Enter your domain name and select the PHP version you need.

Enhance will also provision a free Let's Encrypt SSL certificate automatically — no extra steps needed.
