How to Connect a Custom Domain to Your Website?
Connecting your own domain is an important step toward creating a professional online presence. A custom web address (like www.lizakoval.com) looks more trustworthy and is easier to remember.
Step 1: Purchase a domain from a registrar
A domain is the unique address of your website on the internet. You’ll need to purchase one through a domain registrar.
Popular domain registrars:
- Namecheap – user-friendly and affordable
- GoDaddy – wide choice of domains and frequent discounts
Step 2: Set an A record in your registrar
Once you’ve purchased a domain, log in to your registrar’s account and find the DNS or Domain Management section. You’ll need to add or modify the A record so your domain points to your Pixover website.
A record settings:
- Host (or Name): @
- Type: A
- Value: 5.75.254.73
- If needed, delete other conflicting A records
Step 3: Add the domain in Pixover
- Log in to your Pixover account
- Go to the 'Website Settings' section
- Click the 'Domain Settings' button
- Enter your purchased domain (e.g. example.com)
- Click 'Save'
Step 4: Wait for everything to activate
After you update your DNS records and connect the domain in Pixover, it may take a few hours for the changes to fully propagate.
That’s it! Your website is now live on your custom domain.
