This way you can build websites on a  domain such as \u2018example.com\u2019 rather than the subdomain that is given with your Coventry.Domains account.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Login to your account with the provider you purchased your domain name with and point the custom nameservers to the Coventry.Domains nameservers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>ns1.reclaimhosting.com<\/li><li>ns2.reclaimhosting.com<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once this is done successfully, login to your Coventry.Domains account and add the domain as an \u2018Addon Domain\u2019.  After going through this process you will be able to start building a website on your domain by installing applications like WordPress like normal. Scroll down your cPanel dashboard to the section titled \u2018Domains\u2019 (see image below).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"194\" src=\"https:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/image001-1024x194.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-672\" srcset=\"https:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/image001-1024x194.png 1024w, https:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/image001-300x57.png 300w, https:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/image001-768x146.png 768w, https:\/\/coventry.domains\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/image001.png 1027w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Type in your newly purchased domain in the \u2018New Domain Name\u2019 field.
