How can I update my site addresses, or domain names?

First go to the site that you'd like to update, and make sure you are logged in. Then, in the Toolbar, select 'Admin' --> 'Site Address'. You will see your primary address (the free one you were given when you registered), and a number of other boxes for additional addresses. You can type your new domain name into the box at the bottom of the page, and then click 'Add' to enter it. You can have up to 3 additional addresses that will all work with your site simultaneously. NB. You will also have to ask your domain name provider to point your 'DNS A' record to our servers at IP address 146.101.249.107.

Hello,

If I transfer a domain which I already own to moonfruit, can I use this domain as the main domain, i.e. if people type in www.swirlypearl.co.uk will they get taken to my moonfruit page? And will the address at the top still be swirlypearl.moonfruit.com or will it be the new domain www.swirlypearl.co.uk?

Thank you 

Lauren

I tried to upgrade my site 3 or 4 times with multiple credit cards and each time it said declined yet it shows the transactions going through on my bank account.  Please rectify this immediately!  just because your site doesn't know how to accept credit cards doesn't mean you can caharge people multiple times!

 

thanks

I have paid to update my site and its not showing up. Also, it shows under the "Domain" tab that I have 2 vouchers but it won't let me use them to renew those domain names.
SOOOOOOOOOOOO FRUSTRATED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

www.shullchiropractic.moonfruit.com   (although it won't show up if you type that into your browser!!!)

I too cannot find the admin page for setting up my alternate domain names; which I have had repointed to moonfruit by the current domain entity....the original post saying how to do this seems out of date. This should be quite simple surely; given that SO many people are likely to want to do it!

Hi there,

I am building a site with you and I would like to confirm the following, if I now go through and buy a domain name from you (I already have the free one pinewoodbeautystudio.moonfruit) after I have purchased my new domain name, when people type in pinewoodbeautystudio it should then be www.pinewoodbeautystudio.co.uk no longer www.pinewoobeautystudio.moonfruit.co.uk

If you can confirm this that would be great. Many thanks,

I have 1 voucher - but it won't let me use it - it keeps wanting me to pay for a domain name I already own.

Hi there,

I've changed the DNS A record to the IP address given on here, and the CNAME record to what it says on here too, however when I add my domain name in the admin tab (http://edencottageyarns.co.uk) it then says the CNAME record should be http://edencottageyarns.moonfruit.com - which is correct? And I'd also like to know if the address will show up as www.edencotageyarns.co.uk (once I get my DNS records correct) or www.edencottageyarns.moonfruit.com?

I look forward to hearing from you.
