Your site starts on a free wordifysites.com temporary URL. When you are ready, connect your own domain so visitors reach your site at its real address.
Before you start
You will need access to your domain's DNS settings. These are usually managed at your domain registrar, the company you bought the domain from.
Add the domain in Console
Open your site and go to Hosting, then Domains / SSL.
Click Add Domain and enter your domain name.
Console shows the DNS records to point at your site.
Point your DNS
At your registrar, create the DNS records Console gave you. DNS changes can take a little while to propagate.
Wait for DNS and SSL
Console checks your domain automatically. Once DNS resolves, an SSL certificate is issued and the domain shows DNS Connected and SSL Active. Use Recheck All to check immediately.
Set your primary domain
Once the domain is connected, set it as the Primary domain so it becomes the main address for your site.
Redirect all domains to primary
Once your primary domain is set, you can send visitors on every other domain to it. This covers your other domains, the www or non-www version, and the temporary wordifysites.com URL.
Go to Hosting, then Domains / SSL.
Under Redirects, turn on Redirect all domains to primary.
Visitors are sent to the same page on your primary domain with a permanent (301) redirect. Direct links to files such as PDFs and images are redirected too. Your other domains stay connected, and their SSL keeps renewing. If the switch can't be turned on, Console shows the reason below it, for example when your primary domain is still waiting for its SSL certificate. The change takes up to a minute to apply, and browsers remember the redirect for up to an hour.
