Connect Hosting

A web hosting service is a sort of Internet hosting service that hosts websites for clients. It provides the tools needed to construct and manage a website and makes it available on the World Wide Web. InstaWP allows you to connect to various hosting providers such as RunCloud, Pressable, server avatar, etc.

In this documentation, we will explore the steps to connect to a new hosting provider.

Let’s get started 🚀

Step 1: To access the dashboard, sign in to your InstaWP account.



Step 2: Click on the Hosting button from the top navigation bar.



You will be taken to the hosting page.



Step 3: Click on Connect Hosting from the middle of the interface.

Note: Alternatively, you can click on the "Connect Hosting" button from the top right corner of the interface.



A new modal window will appear, providing a list of available hosting providers.



Step 4: Select a hosting provider according to your preference.



A new dialog will appear, asking you to fill out the connection form by entering a new Alias name as your DNS hostname and the API key of your selected hosting provider.

Step 5: After that, click on the Connect button.



Then, you will see a success message on your screen.
