Step 1:

Head to the Domain Section of your Dashboard by going to Web > Domains

Step 2: Click New Domain

Click the new Domain Button at the Top Right of your Screen

Step 3: Enter your Domain Name.

This is the name that is in your browser bar such as www.yourwebsite.church. Include the WWW.

Step 4: Edit the Settings

Here you will see the DNS Values that you need to add to your domain.

You can also set the action that you want the domain to take. Here we have set it to load a homepage.

Step 5: Repeat this for your main domain

This is the same domain but without the "www".

This time we've set it to redirect to the www version.

Step 6: Wait....

This can take a little bit. Usually pretty quick but in some cases can take 48 hours.

When everything is ready. You will see a "Valid Configuration" checkbox next to the domain.

Best Practices

It's good to wait a day until you post about the new site on social media.

Domain changes can take days to process so it is common for you to see the site not working but someone else to see it working. This settles down after a couple of days.

Lastly... Party!!! Congrats!
