    Im doing a site for someone that has bought their domain with someone else.

    How do i just create the site on here then connect it to the other domain ?

    I looked at help and it said 
    1. Go to All Domains. 
    2. Click on the Add Existing Domain Registered Elsewhere button.

    But i dont see that.

    Also do i select Apache for a wordpress hosting ?

    Please contact our support team directly with your account details etc., and they'll be able to provide you with instructions

    For Wordpress you should choose Apache

    I think it is part of your manual outdated. I can see it straight on your Help page:
    https://help.blacknight.com/entries/22957476-How-can-I-add-a-domain-to-my-account-and-ensure-it-gets-added-to-your-nameservers-

    And me too cant see anything like "Home >> Hosted Domains >> Add existing domain registered elsewhere".
    But I can see "Home >> Hosted Domains >> Add registered domain". So i presume you just changed a texting?
    Or maybe because I don't have any domain registered with you?

    Anyway - could you please confirm ""Home >> Hosted Domains >> Add registered domain" means the same as "Home >> Hosted Domains >> Add existing domain registered elsewhere" ??

    And additional question, somehow connected to the topic.

    Simple - if I have already domain registered with someone else - but I want to use your hosting for the website - do I have to buy  a domain with you? I don't mind to buy some cheap domain with you if I have to - I just need to know IF I have to!

    The wording has changed in a recent upgrade, you do use "Home >> Hosted Domains >> Add registered domain".

    We are updating the article now.

    Thanks.

    Thank you for your comment. Could you please answer second question - if I have hosting with you but I don't have any domain with you (and I use temporary domain like, for example,  http://www.d1141432.cp.blacknight.com) - can I register existing domain registered elsewhere? Or I have first to buy domain with you (as I mentioned - I don't mind to buy, I just want to know if I have to)??

    You can use a domain that you have already registered elsewhere or transfer a domain to us.

    I afraid I was not precise enough - I have situation like that:

    Where after "URL" I put my domain hosted with someone else and after "Forwarding URL" I put my temporary url with blacknight (as I dont have domain bought with you). Is that correct configuration. Can I use temporary URL there?
