With either the Beginner or Professional plan, you can connect your own custom domain to your website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you first create your website it is created on a subdomain. This means your website will be located at xxxx.birthingyourbrand.com (this is selected during sign up).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While your website is visible to any visitors that go to that subdomain, it is best that once you have completed building your website that you update this to your own domain name. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your domain name is the website address where you want your website to be located. You can purchase your domain name from various places for a small annual fee. We recommend Porkbun<\/a> or Namecheap<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n To connect your domain name to your Birthing Your Brand website, the first step is to update the A Record<\/strong> where you purchased your domain name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Go to where you purchased your domain name and log in. For this example, we will be using Porkbun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you log in, you should arrive at the Domain Management Screen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\nConnect your Domain Name to Birthing Your Brand<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
