- If you're using a hosting provider not covered by Quick DNS Config or one of our guides, you can still connect using DNS records or nameservers. Contact your web host for the records they require and then follow our guides on how to set them up: Pointing Your Domain to Hosting With A Records or How to Change Nameservers.
