DirectAdmin: DNS for Your Hosting Account

When your Website Hosts UK hosting account manages the domain DNS, use DirectAdmin to update records such as A, CNAME, MX and TXT records.

Before changing anything, check where the live website and professional email are currently delivered so you do not interrupt either service.

Two different changes

Transfer the Registration or Change the DNS?

A domain transfer moves the registration and future renewal management. A nameserver or DNS change keeps the registration where it is but connects the domain to a different website, email service or other destination.

You do not need to transfer a domain simply because you are moving website hosting or setting up professional email.

Read Domain Transfer Guidance

Important for .uk domains

.uk domains cannot currently be transferred to Website Hosts UK. You can keep the domain with its current registrar and use DNS to connect it to Website Hosts UK hosting or email.

Connect the domain to the right service

Set Up Website Hosting, Email or a Website Move

A domain is only one part of the setup. Choose the route that matches the website, professional email or migration service you need next.

✉

Professional Email

Use your domain with business email, then make sure the mail DNS records point to the right service.

⌂

Website Hosting

Connect the domain to a website once the hosting account and live website are ready to receive visitors.

Move an Existing Website

Plan website, DNS, SSL and email carefully when moving an established site between hosting setups.

Check before you change DNS

Protect Your Live Website and Professional Email

Before changing nameservers or DNS records, note the current setup and make sure the new website or email service is ready. This reduces the chance of visitors reaching the wrong site or important messages being interrupted.

Questions answered

Manage Domains FAQs

Clear answers before you sign in, renew a domain or change a live connection.

Where do I manage my domain nameservers?

For domains in your Website Hosts UK account, sign in to the customer portal to access the domain-management options available, including nameserver settings where supported.

Where do I manage DNS records?

If you have Website Hosts UK hosting and that hosting account manages the domain DNS, use DirectAdmin to manage DNS records. If the domain uses nameservers from another provider, manage its DNS records with that provider instead.

What is the difference between nameservers and DNS records?

Nameservers decide where a domain DNS zone is managed. DNS records inside that zone control services such as the website address, professional email delivery and domain verification.

Can I review renewal options for a domain?

Sign in to your customer portal to review the domain-management and renewal options available in your account. Keep an eye on renewal dates when a live website or professional email depends on the domain.

Do I need to transfer my domain to move my website hosting?

No. Domain registration and hosting are separate. You can usually keep the domain with its current registrar and update nameservers or DNS records once the new website or email service is ready.

Can I transfer a .uk domain to Website Hosts UK?

No. .uk domains cannot currently be transferred to Website Hosts UK. You can keep the domain with its current registrar and use DNS to connect it to Website Hosts UK hosting or email instead.

Can I keep my domain at another registrar and use Website Hosts UK hosting?

Yes. Keep the domain with its current registrar, then update its nameservers or DNS records to connect it to Website Hosts UK hosting, email or another service when the destination is ready.

What should I do if I cannot see my domain in the portal?

First check that you signed in with the email address connected to the order. If you still cannot find the domain, contact support through the customer portal with the domain name and account details.
