Domain names are very critical for individuals, enterprises, and organizations, and can help enterprises/individuals achieve brand identification and establishment, website accessibility, brand protection, search engine optimization, professionalism, and uniqueness. Domain names are a key element of the Internet, and choosing and managing the right domain name is crucial to a successful online presence. How to use domain names in US servers? To associate a domain name with a US server, follow these steps.

Select a domain name registrar

First, choose a domain name registrar, and the registrar's website can search for and purchase the desired domain name.

Register a domain name

On the registrar's website, search for the domain name you want to register and make sure it is available. If available, you can choose the registration period (usually in years) and purchase the domain name.

Manage domain name resolution

In the domain registrar's control panel, find the Domain Name resolution (DNS) Settings. This is where the domain name is associated with the server. Typically, you need to set up a DNS record of the domain name, pointing it to the IP address of the US server.

Obtain the server IP address

Locate the IP address of the server in the control panel or documentation of the U.S. server hosting provider. This points the domain name to the server address.

Adding DNS Records

In the domain registrar's DNS Settings, add A record or CNAME record that points the domain name to the server's IP address. Specific Settings may vary from registrar to registrar, so you may need to consult your registrar's documentation or support resources to complete these Settings.

Wait for DNS propagation

Changes to DNS records usually take some time to propagate globally. This can take a few hours or more. Once the DNS record propagation is complete, your domain name will be successfully associated with the US server.

Test domain name

During the waiting time, you can test whether the domain name correctly points to the US server. Enter your domain name into your browser and confirm that it loads the website or application that you are hosting on your server.

It is worth noting that the domain name Settings may differ due to different domain name registrars/server hosting providers, and it is best to carefully consult the relevant documentation and support resources when setting a domain name to ensure the correct setting of the domain name. In addition, it is also necessary to ensure that the US server is correctly configured to accept domain name requests. If you do not know how to set it, you can seek professional help or contact the technical support of the domain name provider/US server provider in time.
