I have a domain registered with godaddy and a free hosting in 5gbfree, installed wordpress in this and I don't know how to map my domain to this hosting. can you please help.
According to the knowledge-base article here , 5GBFree has following default nameservers.
NS1.5GBFree.com
NS2.5GBFree.com
Just login to Godaddy domain control panel and set above nameservers. Here's the tutorial you should follow.

I have purchased a domain name through google domains (e.g. example.com). Separately I have created a website at a third party (wix). I am now trying to connect my domain name to the wix hosted site.
Setting up regular http was trivial: I copied the 2 custom name servers from wix to the DNS name server entries in google domains and then example.com immediately began routing to the wix site.
What are the next steps to setup https so that my domain securely routes to wix?
The help page for google domains states that I can go to Certificate Authority to obtain an SSL certificate, but then where does the certificate information go? In google domains or in wix? If the cert info goes in wix, do I have to change any settings on the google domains side?
Note: I am tyring to avoid doing redirect because I want the website url to always show "example.com", I don't want the address changed by redirect to "example.wix.com" while the user is browsing.
Thank you in advance for your consideration and response.
Eventually https began to redirect properly to wix as well. I was not able to discover the root cause, perhaps it was just a timing issue with DNS.
I have purchased a Domain name from BigRock. Is it possible to redirect this domain to my free hosted website on pythonanywhere.com with a sub-domain? for ex: myxyz.pythonanywhere.com
I am using a free plan of pythonanywhere.com which gives us a sub-domain with "pythonanywhere" as a parent domain.
Suppose, the Domain I've purchased is "myabc.com". I want to redirect all the requests on this URL (myabc.com) to my free hosted website (i.e. myxyz.pythonanywhere.com)
Edit: I tried the Domain Forwarding feature of BigRock. I entered "http://myxyz.pythonanywhere.com" in the redirection URL. In a couple of hours when I went to myabc.com, It was showing "myxyz.pythonanywhere.com refused to connect". which might be indicating that redirection was successful but Pythonanywhere is somehow blocking the redirection.
I believe it is possible. BigRock should have a domain manager where you can add your pythonanywhere domain.
I am trying to use my hostgator registered domain on my node.js application deployed through heroku.
I have added the domain to my heroku application through the custom domain feature, and when i type "Heroku Domains" in the console, it shows up with a target of: "photosbysalwa.com.herokudns.com" and a type of ALAIS or ANAME.
When I try to add an ANAME record through hostgator, I try to set the address to "photosbysalwa.com.herokudns.com" but it won't let me submit the record because it says the address must be an IP address.
If you could help me with how to get the domain pointed, that would be fantastic.
Check this video its about how to point your domain name to heroku hosting.
It have godaddy domain name and its the same way to hostgator I think
in the heroku page in the settings add three domains:
1 *.xyz.com
2: xyz.com
3. www.xyz.com
open your Hostgator account and in the DNS Management page add in the cname the host: www and in the point to: your heroku url

I believe this will solve your problem
I'm trying to use my Hostgator domain with my Heroku app, everything works except the naked domain.
Redirect didn't work for me and they don't provide ALIAS or ANAME?
Any thoughts?
After spending hours with the customer service I found what I need.
Hostgator does not provide this feature to map to naked domains without A records.
Thankfully I was able to find http://wwwizer.com/naked-domain-redirect
It's a free service and does the trick...
Currently I have an app which gives my users a custom subdomain.
neat.coolapp.com
However, I want my users to be able to CNAME their personal domain to that website.
ex. hey.neat.com -> neat.coolapp.com
Is this possible on heroku?
Thanks in advance for any insight.
You'll need to add whatever domain the customer wants to use to your application so the correct application on Heroku responds - you could do this either manually (via the heroku control panel) or use the heroku gem within your application to add the domain to your application via some kind of control panel if the customer is able to add their own domains.
In regards to cname's - I would suggest setting up something like proxy.yourwebsite.com as a CNAME to yourapp.heroku.com and then you get your customers to cname their domain to proxy.yourwebsite.com in their DNS config.
When you sign up for Heroku you will get a subdomain like
asdf.heroku.com
If you have a domain like mywebsite.com you can cname mywebsite.com to asdf.heroku.com and you will need to add mywebsite.com to Heroku's custom domain command.
From there I'm not sure, if you wanted to add mywebsite2.com without having to add it using the custom domain command you can try to cname it to mywebsite.com, if you have two domains you can try it out.
