How to Assign a Domain to Your WordPress Hosting Package

There are two ways to assign your domain to your WordPress hosting package. You can either link a domain already registered under your Network Solutions® account or manually add one that’s registered elsewhere. Both options will connect your chosen web address to your WordPress site, making it accessible to visitors once the setup is complete.

Follow these steps below to start:

  1. Log in to your Account Manager via https://www.networksolutions.com/my-account/login.
     
  2. Click WordPress on the left-side menu.

  3. If you only have one WordPress package, you’ll be brought directly to your WordPress Control Panel. But if you’re handling several sites, just click Manage beside the one you want to open. For new setups, choose Setup first to finish the initial configuration.
     
  4. Once inside the Control Panel, click on Assign / Edit Your Domain under the Domain & Email Management section to prompt domain assigning.
