Step 1

[{"selector":"#anim-ca305fd1-fd64-46b9-b730-bb92bb0434c6","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-096ad116-4fe1-4e7d-91b6-f3a4f6b44722","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-142.72728%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-febf6c0f-f302-4f21-9bf4-ffce918a9f01","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-1d8a38ec-f65c-48a0-8e75-78eeedd1e12c","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.14195%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Go to the domain registrar account that you have registered for your domain. This area lets you change your domain's DNS settings.

Step 2

[{"selector":"#anim-cb9c9896-c2f6-4b2c-9aaa-9e69007886e2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c93323bb-0634-4277-9776-fea8d71096ff","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-142.72728%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9b29e9cc-20ac-403a-a904-f171bbc70035","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c8257660-43be-48e9-80b3-2ece3b525245","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.14195%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Go to the DNS control area of the dashboard provided by your domain registrar. Find the domain's DNS records and set them to point to your VPS hosting.

Step 3

[{"selector":"#anim-15532516-786a-46e9-aace-950513b9c385","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-36290bb2-13b1-4758-a41c-d0b95ee1d567","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-142.72728%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-58388734-63e9-41e7-8c9a-fd5454bc6aad","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-0693f3b2-4c89-4ed0-aca3-f98bcd0671a7","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.14195%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Include entries pointing to your VPS's IP address. This indicates to the domain where the files for your website are hosted on the server. Once the IP address has been entered, save your modifications.

Step 4

[{"selector":"#anim-777be625-9182-4798-94aa-631fd7058239","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a0adb1c3-9a79-4c04-b197-e17ba3042e89","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-142.72728%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-40b73cf3-88c5-4d2b-b7ed-720b0cec8067","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c78bca71-8641-4e20-8c1b-1071a3250443","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.14195%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Update your domain's nameservers to your VPS provider's custom ones if needed, following their instructions, which may vary.

Step 5

[{"selector":"#anim-97055f22-69ce-4e40-ad31-3991506b61a5","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-8dbf9f61-7ba3-433a-9227-7ada8245035a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-142.72728%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d99c82b5-887b-4b15-be97-e522e01432a0","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-d4905873-9fa0-40be-ac12-473cd2804ec3","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(115.14195%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":600,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] DNS updates may take time to propagate online, ranging from minutes to hours. Be patient as changes occur.
