You have bought hosting, so what now? This checklist covers the five most important tasks to complete first so your website launches smoothly and your account stays secure.
1. Read Your Welcome Email
Open the welcome email and save it. It contains your client area login, cPanel credentials, and your nameservers, ns1.nairohost.site and ns2.nairohost.site.
2. Log In and Secure Your Accounts
- Log in to the client area at my.nairohost.site.
- Log in to cPanel and change the default password.
- Use strong, unique passwords for both.
3. Point Your Domain
Update your domain nameservers to the NairoHost values so your site can go live.
| Nameserver | Value | |------------|-------| | Primary | ns1.nairohost.site | | Secondary | ns2.nairohost.site |
4. Set Up Professional Email
In cPanel, open Email Accounts and create an address such as info@yourdomain.co.ke. A branded email builds trust with customers.
5. Install Your Website
Use Softaculous in cPanel to install WordPress in one click, or upload your own files to the public_html folder. Then add an SSL certificate so your site loads securely over HTTPS.
Bonus Tips
- Note your renewal date so your services never lapse.

Completing these five steps gets your website online and your account protected from day one.
