Connecting Your Own Domain Name
Updated
You can choose to connect your own domain if you will prefer to create a unique web address or already have a domain.
If you are on the Free plan and wish to connect your own domain name, you must first upgrade your site by purchasing a plan.
To connect your existing domain:

- Click on the Actions button then Add Domain
- Click on Custom Domain
- Enter the domain name
- Click on the “these instructions” link which will open up an article with the remaining steps to complete the DNS set up.

Important: Once you have created a domain name on the Domains page, you cannot edit the spelling. If you made a mistake when entering the domain name, you will need to remove it then add the correct name.
