Scheduled maintenance: we're moving to new servers. New sign-ups and member log-ins are paused until the move is finished. Published websites are not affected.

Using your own domain name
With a Pro or Business plan, your site can use your own address, like www.smithbakery.com, instead of smithbakery.myfirstwebsite.dev.
If you don't have a domain yet
Business plans include a free domain name for the first year. Pro members can register one through us for $9.95 per year. Go to Settings » Domain and search for the name you want.
If you already own a domain
- In the editor, go to Settings » Domain and choose I already own this domain.
- Log in to the company where you registered your domain (your registrar).
- Change the CNAME record for www to point to sites.myfirstwebsite.dev.
- Come back to the editor and click Check my settings.
Changes to domain settings can take up to 48 hours to work everywhere on the Internet.
During the server upgrade
Domain changes can't be made until the editor is back online. Domains that are already connected keep working.
