How to set the domain name of WordPress

To set a WordPress website domain name, you need to: 1. Purchase the domain name prefix, 2. Set the DNS record to point it to your website IP, 3. Connect the domain name prefix in the WordPress dashboard, and finally check whether the settings are effective.

How to set up a WordPress website domain name

1. Purchase the domain name prefix

First, you need to purchase a domain name prefix such as "example.com" or "example.net". It can be purchased through domain name registrars (such as GoDaddy, Namecheap).

2. Set up DNS records

After purchasing the domain name prefix, you need to set up a DNS (domain name system) record. These records tell the domain name registrar the IP address of your WordPress website so that the user can find it when entering the domain name in the browser.

To set up DNS records:

• Log in to your domain registrar account.
• Find your domain prefix.

• Create the following DNS record:

  • Type: A
  • Host name: @
  • Value: The IP address of your WordPress website
  • TTL: 3600 (1 hour)

3. Connect the domain name prefix to WordPress

After setting up your DNS record, you need to connect the domain name prefix to your WordPress website.

• Log in to your WordPress dashboard.
• Go to Settings > General.
• Enter your domain name prefix in the WordPress Address (URL) and Site Address (URL) fields.
• Click Save Changes.

4. Check settings

Once the settings are complete, check if the connection is correct by entering your domain name prefix in your browser. You should see your WordPress website.
