Linking an existing domain to your website: in black and white

Lindsay, one of our product designers, minored in film in college. See if her parents’ money was well-spent by checking out her short film on managing your domain – Rochelle.

Many of our customers already own a domain name (e.g. www.fische.com) before they create a website with us. There are a couple of options for connecting a domain purchased through a different company with a Homestead website, but these options can be pretty difficult to understand. Because of this, we’ve created a short video to explain - in our own way - a couple of these options to you – domain pointing and domain forwarding - and hopefully make you laugh a little, too.

“Pointing” your domain to your Homestead site is now as easy as transferring it. Whichever option you prefer, both are easy to do through the Domain Manager once you’ve logged into your Homestead account. You can find the Domain Manager - including detailed explanations and pros and cons of each option - by clicking on Domains & Email, then Domains on the left of the page.

Thanks for watching!

    Pretty silly, but gets the point across! I am in the process as we speak and trying to decide so it helps to have it so simple.

    Excellent! I did not know this. It will certainly speed up the process when changes are needed.
    Now if only one could get the preferred url from Homestead, and deal with everything at one source?
    Thanks for this helpful blog.

    What a hoot — and I get the point. Don’t hang up those fairy wings yet, I’ve got much to learn … Great job.

    Thanks for the fun under Homestead’s sun!

    I liked the big fische ;-) and I am planning some hacks to catch it without a bite ;-)
