Connecting your website domain

Connect your own domain name to your Marketpress website, so customers find you there instead of at your marketpress.site address.


Your market's Marketpress website gets a free marketpress.site address as soon
as you activate it. If you own a domain of your own, you can connect it so
customers find your site there instead.

Important

Your website has to be active before you can connect a domain to it. If
you haven't set one up yet, see
Marketpress getting started.

Connect a custom domain

  1. From your dashboard's left-hand navigation, go to Marketing → Website.

  2. On the Connect Custom Domain card, click Connect.

  3. Enter your domain.

  4. Click Connect.

Marketspread saves your domain, but it isn't live until your DNS records
point at it.

Update your DNS records

  1. Log in to your domain provider's account.
  2. Add an A record for your domain pointing to 207.244.251.137. For
    the host (sometimes called the "root"), use @ or leave it blank —
    whichever your provider asks for.
  3. Add a second A record pointing to 209.126.13.72, with the same
    host.
  4. Save your changes.

If you need help finding DNS settings with your provider, these guides cover
GoDaddy, eNom and Squarespace — Google Domains has moved there, so that's
where its DNS help lives now:

Note

DNS changes can take a few minutes to reach Marketspread, and sometimes
longer depending on your provider. Come back to Website afterward to
check your domain's status.

If your domain still isn't ready after a while, click Details on its card
to see why.

Disconnect a custom domain

  1. From your dashboard's left-hand navigation, go to Marketing → Website.

  2. Click the three-dot menu in the top right.

  3. Choose Disconnect domain.

    The three-dot menu, open to Disconnect domain

  4. Click Disconnect to confirm.

Your website goes back to its marketpress.site address. You can connect a
different domain any time by following the steps above.
