Yes, it is possible to host external domain name with Quape. All you need to do is to purchase a web hosting package with us. Once the package is ready, please contact your Domain Registrar and change the domain name servers to point to us.
Our Name Servers / DNS are as follow:
Primary Nameserver Hostname – NS1.QUAPE.COM
Primary Nameserver HostAddress – 111.235.136.111
Secondary Nameserver Hostname – NS2.QUAPE.COM
Secondary Nameserver HostAddress – 69.175.49.67
Tertiary Nameserver Hostname – NS3.QUAPE.COM
Tertiary Nameserver HostAddress – 111.235.137.137
Note: Please note down the IP address of your website (if website is hosted with another company) and MX records (if emails are hosted somewhere else) too.
Also be informed that propagation of DNS will take 6-12 hours.
You may check if the propagation has completed via this link below.

Once it has propagated, it will then point to our servers for host records and you can start using our web hosting services.
If you already have a hosting package and wants to add the external domain name as an addon, please make sure that you have changed the name servers of the domain name and follow the instructions below:
Step 1: Login to DirectAdmin.
Step 2: Click on Subdomain Management under Account Manager.
Step 3: Click on Add Subdomain
Step 4: Enter your desired domain name in the Domain field
When creating subdomains for the new domain, you’ll see three Document Root options:
1. Default
Path: /domains/yourdomain.subdomain/public_html
- Use this for an isolated subdomain with its own directory structure.
2. Legacy (Sub-folder Inside Main Domain)
Path: /domains/yourdomain/public_html/subdomain
- Best for subdomains that extend your main domain’s content.
3. Custom
Path: Manually specify your own path.
- Use this for special setups requiring a custom folder structure.
Step 5: Finalize the Add-On Domain
- Click the Create button to add the domain.
- DirectAdmin will verify the name servers and display a confirmation message once the domain is successfully added.
