Question 1

Connecting an external domain you own

Accepted Answer

Connecting your custom domain not only helps you to get a higher ranking in search engines, but also adds credibility to your company because of the branded name. Owning a domain will help you to boost your business and make your customers remember you among others.

With the help of Weblium tools, you can connect an external domain you purchased from the third-party service.

||| ${color}#f97700 This article describes how to connect a third-party domain by making changes to its records. In doing so, the domain and its records need to be propagated across all DNS servers in the world for it to work consistently for all users. This is a standard process that applies to all domains and can take up to 24-48 hours. During this time, the connection may be unstable and the site may not be available on all devices.

There are two ways to connect your domain - by adding A-records or by changing the NS (name server records) of the domain. These two methods are interchangeable, later in this article you can read more about which method is better to use in certain situations. You can also watch our short video tutorial on this topic:
