How to connect your domain
Point an existing domain to your new Twist Web Studio website without downtime.
Theodore OwensUpdated 1 min read
You keep ownership of your domain. We only need permission to point it at your new website.
Before you start
- Find the account where you bought the domain, for example GoDaddy, Squarespace, Google Domains, or Namecheap.
- Make sure you can log in and reach the DNS settings.
- Tell us if email runs on the same domain so we protect your MX records.
Steps
- Open your domain registrar and go to DNS settings.
- Add or update the A record and CNAME we send you.
- Save the changes and wait for propagation, usually under an hour.
- We confirm the secure certificate once it resolves.
Transferring instead
If you would rather move the domain to a new registrar, unlock it, request the authorization code, and send it to us. Transfers can take up to seven days.
