If you've purchased a domain name through a third party, you can follow these steps to point it to your Siimple site.

  1. First, create your Siimple site

  2. Go to the 'Settings' tab and the top of the site editor

  3. Select 'Use a Domain Name you Already Own' from the Website Domain Name dropdown menu

    4. Next, type in your domain name (without the www. or http extension). You will see a prompt appear telling you how to Configure your Domain name.

5. You will need to login to the place where you purchased your domain name and change the records show in the prompt to point your domain name to your new Siimple site.

6. You can come back and click the 'Recheck Settings' button to see if worked correctly. Note that this could take up to 24 hours and is all dependent upon your registrar (the place where you purchased the domain name).

7. Click Save Changes.

8. Now make sure to click 'Publish Site' and start your subscription in order to see your site live at your Domain name URL.
