Register name servers for the domain in your domain registrar

Then go to cpanel and then add the domain there and use the name servers there to connect them.

Wait for 48 hours or so for the DNS to propagate

Click to expand...

There should be an option in your registrar's backend. "Domain name server setup" or similar.

It can also be named:
Addon domains

if you don't have it, you have to upgrade your hosting account to a more expensive one (I had that problem with mine)
