When connecting an existing domain, some changes are needed to be made to the settings in the control panel of your registrar (where you purchased your domain from).

Each registrar is different, the location of its control panel can vary and so can the method of changing DNS records.

Here are some examples of how to locate the control panel in registrars:

Once you finish creating your website, click PUBLISH > Choose a subscription (all include unlimited hosting) > Follow the steps to connect a domain or buy a new one. See our video tutorial here.

If you do not own a domain, you can purchase one through our website at $10 per year (only “global” domains are currently available – .com, .net. org etc.).

Once purchasing a domain from us, an email will be sent to you within 48 hours confirming the site and email are up.

If you wish to connect a local one – .co.uk, .fr etc., you can buy it from a local domains registrar and connect it as an existing domain. One place you can buy a domain is https://iwantmyname.com/services/website-builder/imcreator-custom-d… (IM is not affiliated with this service, this is one of number of sites you can buy a domain from).

If you wish to connect your own domain, follow our step-by-step wizard – imcreator.com/existing_domain.

You can disconnect a website from a domain by clicking on Manage under the thumbnail of the site which is connected to the domain and choose “disconnect domain”

To connect  your domain:

1. Log into your control panel at 1&1 to the Domain Overview.

2. From the menu above the domain list choose New> Create sub domain.

3. A new window will open. In the info field add WWW and choose the domain you are connecting from the dropdown menu. Click OK.

1_1-1.png

5. You will reach a DNS settings page. Choose General settings: CNAME and add the alias www.im-router.com. Confirm and click OK.

1_1-3.png

 

 

6. To connect the A record choose the main domain name in the overview, choose again DNS> Edit DNS Settings.

7. This time choose DNS Settings: DNS. 

8. Under Advanced DNS Settings choose IP Address: Other IP address and add the IP 174.129.25.170. Click OK.

Don’t worry, this only means that the DNS is configured correctly (the domain is pointing to our servers) and there’s only one more step needed to activate the site.

Log into your site’s editor and go to Settings> Domain> Existing Domain. Add your domain name and click connect. The site is immediately up under your domain name.

If you haven’t upgraded your site as needed to connect a domain, you will be asked to do so (see more http://support.imcreator.com/entries/24044760-Connecting-Your-Website-to-a-Domain)

If you see a message ‘this domain is already taken’ click on cancel and then on the blue PUBLISH button in the upper-right corner of the editor.
