How to Connect a Custom Domain to Your Website

Connecting a custom domain swaps a generic web address for your own professional one, like yourbusiness.in. It's a simple process that makes a big difference to credibility. Here's how it works.

What you need

• A registered domain name.
• A website ready to publish on your builder.

How to connect it

In your website builder, choose the option to connect a custom domain and follow the steps. You'll usually either buy the domain through the builder (simplest) or update a couple of settings at your domain registrar to point it at your site.

Give it a little time

Domain changes can take a few minutes to a few hours to take effect across the internet. Once done, your site loads on your own address, secured with SSL. Builders make this about as painless as it gets.
