If you already own a domain name, want to use it with your site and don't want to transfer it, then please follow the instructions below:

1. Please ask your domain name provider (or Registrar) to make the following DNS changes:

www record (e.g. www.mydomain.com)

Point as a CNAME entry to 'cdn.sitemakerlive.com.'

Root or '@' record (e.g. mydomain.com without the www)

Point as an A record to 146.101.249.107

2. Next step is something you can do. Add your domain name to your site. Click 'Edit my site' to ensure you are in edit mode. On the Toolbar select 'Admin' --> 'Site address', then enter the domain name in the text field provided and click 'Add'.  Don't forget to add both your root domain (without the www) and your sub-domain (with the www).

This change can take up to 72hrs to take affect. Note: We do not recommend using URL forwarding as search engines will not index your site successfully and it will impact some features e.g. PayPal, SEO.

NB. Your domain name provider should permit you to change your DNS A and CNAME records. You do NOT need to change your Name Servers. If they cannot provide this service then you should consider transferring your domain to a provider who does. More information can be found in the "Can I transfer my domain name..." FAQ. This operation may incur a charge by your current provider.
