HawkHost WordPress Website Building

在How to use a server to build a website after buying a domain name_Does it require ICP filing and hosting space?In this article, Naibabiji explained that after purchasing a domain name, it needs to be resolved to the server's IP address to function properly. Since Hawk Host is a foreign host, it does not involve ICP filing. So, let's first check the server IP address of Hawk Host.

Check Shared Hosting IP Address

First, log in to the Hawk Host user center, then click on Services, My Products & Services, and click on the name of the service you purchased to enter the details page.At the very bottom of the service details page, find the cPanel icon and click to enter.You can switch to the Chinese language in the upper right corner of the newly opened cPanel.After switching, on the right side of the webpage, you can see an IP address labeled 'Shared IP Address'.This IP address is the oneyour domain needs to becorrectlyresolved to. It„s unclear if this bug issue with Hawk Host has been the same since 2011. After researching for a while, I discovered that the IP address on the service details page is different from the one in cPanel. If you add domain resolution and find that the website always shows the message “SORRY! If you are the owner of this website, please contact your hosting provider:„ then it“s likely due to resolving to the wrong IP address.

Add Domain DNS Records

After finding the correct IP address of the shared hosting you purchased, go to the website where you bought your domain to add DNS records. Only after correctly resolving and binding the IP address of the Eagle Host shared hosting can your website be accessed via the domain. When adding DNS records, add two records for www and @ (or blank). Select A as the record type for both, and fill in the IP address from the image above as the record value.
