Domains

How do I connect a domain I already own?

Checked against the product · For Launch, Growth, Pro

Type your domain on the Domain page and choose Connect domain. We connect both yourbusiness.com and www.yourbusiness.com, then show you exactly what to do.

We look up where your domain's DNS is managed (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Squarespace, Wix, Cloudflare and others) and tailor the steps to that company. Where your DNS host supports it, you can approve the change there in one step instead. Otherwise you add the records shown, each with a Copy button, and we check for them automatically.

Your new site stays live at its own address the whole time, and your old site keeps showing on your domain until the records take effect. We never touch your email records.

Step by step

  1. Go to Site and choose Connect a domain.
  2. Under Your domain, type it the way it's printed on your cards and choose Connect domain.
  3. If you see a Connect with button (for example Connect with GoDaddy), choose it and approve.
  4. Otherwise, add the records shown where your domain's DNS is managed.
  5. Choose Check now, or leave it: we email you when it's connected.
