In this video we look at how to set up nameservers. Nameservers are what will direct traffic to your site, they link the domain name i.e you blog url to where it’s hosted. Think of them as signposts on the freeway/motorway
If you ever buy a new domain and set up a site but still can’t see it then it is usually the nameservers that are the problem. You’ll hear hosting companies tell you that it can take up to 48 hours for the nameservers to resolve. (start pointing traffic to the right location).
In reality it very rarely take more than 5 or 10 minutes. If they aren’t working after 30 minutes check them..

Cpanel is the control panel for the majority of website. it’s worth checking with your host to see if they use it before getting hosting as it is the most common and therefor the best supported control panel.
