    Add a domain name to a cpanel account in my VPS hosting plan.

    I have purchased a VPS hosting package. I have successfully created a cpanel account and installed my site.
    The url is something like http://xx.xxx.xx.xx/~username
    Now I need to add a domain to the above url. How can I do that?
    The problem is I cannot use the nameservers "ns1.secureserver.net" and "ns2.secureserver.net" which are included on whm by default.
    Do I need to purchase a domain name with premium DNS to set my own nameserver?

    Hello Anuwa,

     

    You can point your domain to your web server by modifying your A record to point to your server ipv4 address.
