To connect a domain to hosting is a very simple process it isn't rocket science.
The only thing you need to do is follow each and every step to connect a domain to hosting very carefully.

After logging in your account you will get your purchased domain lets' say xyz.com.
Step 2:-
Then you will get a DNS button you had to click it.
After clicking to DNS option you will land into this page and when you scroll down a bit you will get Name servers
Click the change button in order to change your name servers.
Step 3:-
Then there will be another page opened where you need to copy the nameserver from your hosting from where you had purchased the hosting.
Click ENTER MY OWN NAMESERVERS.
Mostly there are 2-4 nameservers of your hosting.
You need to add the nameservers in your Domain service provider account (from where you had purchased your domain name)
Then click on SAVE.
After a few minutes or an hour usually, it takes minutes to connect your domain to hosting.
This type of message will be displayed on your account where you had purchased domain.
Step 4:-
Login in your C- panel.
How to login in c panel?
