so before you get started buying a domain from Hostgator make sure you understand this that in Hostgator you can’t set an a record without having a hosting package because you must have a cPanel account in order to change an a record note that for our white labeling strategy we don’t need to have and pay for hosting all we need to do is forward and mask our domains so if you want the a record setup without having a hosting package from
Hostgator you must contact their support and they can set it up for you using their registrar system okay so let’s go over to Hostgator and see if we can find a domain name so go to hostgator.com come over here and click on domains now I’ve already searched for domains and found one that I want to use so I’m just gonna pop that in here banner ads agency com click on search and it says it’s available so I’ll click on Add to Cart then I can click
here to view Cart and in my case I’m not going to select the domain privacy protection I’m going to uncheck that that brings the price down to 1295 scroll down read the Terms of Service click here click on complete order at this point you can either log in with an existing login or if you’re a new customer as I am today I’ll have to click on new customer so fill out this form information here your first name last name email company address city
state county phone zip password and click on create account so enter your credit card number your expiration month and year and your first name your last name and click on complete order ok so it says your order is being processed please check below to see update status of your domaine then it says thank you for your order a welcome email is being sent to you and then it has the domain name here banner ads agency.com and it was successful all
right so now let’s go check our inbox and we got an email from Hostgator domain order provides us with our domain name here and how we can log in and manage that domain I will come back over to Hostgator and just click on hide and you’ll see your domain listed here alright so now that we have all of our white label information set up with inside of AD kahuna let’s go back over to a Hostgator and ask them to update the a record for us so log into
your Hostgator account I’m just gonna click on support’ I’m going to click on live chat put in my name are you an existing customer yes put in my primary domain this is domain i’m going to be using package type select domain click on continue then you need to verify your Hostgator login details again click login what can we help you with today let’s see what our options are let’s say domains I need domain assistance with I’m gonna select DNS
management click on start chat click on start chat okay so now I’ll pop in my request here you’re just gonna say I purchased this domain from Hostgator since I didn’t purchase the hosting package I don’t have access to cPanel to update to a record i watching forward and masked this domain can you please update the a record in your register system for me I need the a record to point to this IP address and click on send now you may be asking where
did I get this IP address from well I’ve got it from the ad kahuna white labeled dashboard right here it says a record should be set to this target IP address right here okay so I’m gonna go back to Hostgator support so the only problem with this is I will not be able to validate that the IP address was put in correctly and Hostgator since I don’t have access to cPanel so I’m totally relying on the support person to update the a record properly
and point to the proper IP address okay they said the record has been updated it should take three to four hours usually but can take up to 24 to 48 hours so I’ll just thank him and close the call so I’ll go up the top here click on rate and exit click on end chat buy some feedback click on submit survey and then I can get out of this ok so I’ll come back in a couple hours and see if my forwarding is working ok so if you check your newly
purchased domain too early before it’s been propagated through the DNS servers you will get this baurel for could not find page air usually that means you just have to wait a little bit longer for the propagation to occur but there could also be a problem with your setup I would give it a little bit more time and check back later well it’s now been a little bit over 12 hours since I set up my a record with Hostgator and I’ll check my new domain
again and sure enough I’m now pointing to my landing page at ad kahuna so this is not working properly and I’m off to the races ok so I hope you enjoyed this tutorial and we’ll talk to you later bye for now
