In this SiteGround video tutorial, you’ll learn how to point an external domain name to your site at SiteGround. If you registered your domain at SiteGround, it will be pointed automatically and you don’t have to go through the described steps.

We recommend pointing your domain to SiteGround’s nameservers ns1.siteground.net and ns2.siteground.net for the best experience with our hosting. If you have a specific DNS setup that you’d like to keep, make sure you add your custom DNS records to the DNS zone to avoid interruptions, or if this is not possible, consider pointing your domain by IP (A record).
