Domain Name
To set up a custom domain name for your website, select your site from your Dashboard page, then click the 'Edit Site' tab -> 'Domain & Email' for full instructions.
If you are setting up an existing domain, you will need to change your DNS settings with your domain registrar to:
Primary DNS Server: ns1.domaincityservers.com
Secondary DNS Server: ns2.domaincityservers.com
NOTES:
- You cannot set up a custom domain name while in trial mode. If you are still in trial mode, click the 'Pay for Site' button on the toolbar.
- If you have purchased your domain name elsewhere, you will still need to manage and renew your domain with your registrar.
- For editing purposes, you edit on your DoItYourSelfSiteBuilder version of your site. Any changes you make there automatically show up on your domain. Basically, your domain draws all its information from whatever is on your DoItYourSelfSiteBuilder site.
- Any links which are automatically generated by us will switch to your domain when you are on the domain name version of your site -- i.e. the index links. However, any links you insert yourself manually where you actually type in the web address you will have to change to your domain name and not to your DoItYourSelfSiteBuilder address.
- All you have to do is go and edit the link and replace your DoItYourSelfSiteBuilder address with your domain address. Just right-click on the link, select 'Edit Link' and make the correction. For example, if your web address is http://www.cars.DoItYourSelfSiteBuilder/tires.html and your domain is autos.com, you would link to http://www.autos.com/tires.html instead. Notice how everything in front of and behind autos.com is the same.
