Once you have bought your own domain name (ie. www.dnncreative.com) and your hosting package, you need to point your domain name from your domain registrar to your hosting providers’ servers in order to access your web page.
It's important that you do this as soon as possible as it can take 24 to 48 hours for the new settings to take effect across the internet.
In this tutorial we have purchased our domain name using 1&1.com and we are going to point the domain to the serverintellect.com servers.
