More than you'll ever need to know? Maybe. But we prefer to think you'll really like being able to make your website do everything you want it to, have fun doing it, and end up with an incredible online presence.

Connecting Your Existing Domain



To connect an existing domain:

  • Hover over PUBLISH (right hand corner of the editor page)

  • Click ‘connect an existing domain’

  • Enter your domain (only the naked domain - yourdomain.com)

  • Connecting your existing domain also requires changing the DNS Records in your registrar so that the domain will point to our servers and to your new site.


THESE NEXT STEPS ARE CRITICALLY IMPORTANT

(Until these are completed, your existing domain will not point to your new website)


To connect your domain to our servers:

  • Log in to your registrar account. The registrar is where you originally purchased the domain (GoDaddy, NameCheap, Network Solutions, etc.). If you don't remember who your registrar is, you can use https://www.whois.com/whois/ to find out.

  • Locate the Control Panel or Domain Manager of your domain in your registrar account.

    The control panel allows you to change the DNS records from the default ones provided by the registrar. Different registrars may have different control panel layouts and other names for it as well. You might find it under 'DNS Manager' or 'Domain Manager".

  • In your registrar's Control Panel, change the A record and the CNAME:

    Add an empty (@) A record, with the value of 174.129.25.170

    Add a 'www' CNAME, with the value of imxprs.herokuapp.com
    (If there are previous A records in your DNS settings - make sure to delete them).




Make sure to SAVE these changes.

I followed the steps and my site isn't up, what should I do?:

  • DNS error: It may take up to 24 hours for these changes to propagate worldwide.
    You can track your changes by clicking here.

  • Error - "This domain is not properly configured in our system":
    Please re-connect your domain through the editor according to the above instructions.
