Custom Domain

Move your site from its free address to your own domain. Available on paid plans.

Every site starts on a free convotra.website address with SSL included. On a paid plan you can connect a domain you own at any time, from Website.

Steps

  1. Open Website and scroll to Custom Domain. It shows the server IP address to use.
  2. At the company where you bought the domain, add an A record pointing the domain to that IP address.
  3. Wait for the change to spread. This usually takes minutes, but can take a few hours.
  4. Back in Custom Domain, type your domain and connect it.
  5. Your site goes live on the new domain, and SSL is set up automatically.
