With your new WebSelf website, you can continue using a domain you already own.
Redirecting a domain name allows you to maintain your URL address, while forwarding users to the WebSelf site.
With WebSelf, you can create a DNS redirect (Domain Name Server) while keeping your domain name with your current host. By using our DNS records in your existing domain settings, visitors will be forwarded to your WebSelf site.
To set up a domain redirect in your Individual Dashboard, click on "Manage".
1. Click on the + ADD A DOMAIN button.
2.- Click on the ¨Connect à domain¨ option.
3. Enter the domain name you'd like to redirect to WebSelf.
IMPORTANT: When you enter the domain name, do not enter your URL's "www" portion. For example, if your address is ‘www.mysite.fr’, only enter ‘mysite’. Remember to specify your extension (e.g. .com, .net, .org, .ca, .fr, etc.).
4. Click on “Connect your domain”.
5. Select the website, and click on ¨OK¨.
6. Your domain name will show on the table.
7. Login to your domain registrar's interface. In the DNS management, indicate WebSelf DNS values:
ns1.webself.net
ns2.webself.net
If you have email accounts linked to the domain name, set up the "MX Records" to ensure the proper function of your email addresses.
Usually, it takes 24 hours for the setup to take effect.
