Making your site work at your domain name (ex. mydomain.com)

In order to make your site go live at your domain, you’ll need to update the DNS for your domain name and point it to the correct server. To do that, you’ll need to add an “A Record” to your domain’s DNS for the following IP:

174.143.27.124

Here's some links to helpful instructions for some of the most common registrars:

Updates to DNS can take between 12 and 24 hours to propagate across the internet. Don't freak out if your change to your A Record doesn't change anything immediately.

Important

After your site is live at the new domain, you'll want to clear the image and data caches by navigating to dashboard/admin/settings/cache:

Click both buttons you see on that page. You'll also need to be sure to access your control panel from your new domain from that point on (ex. go to http://yourdomain.com/dashboard instead of http://yourdomain-com.webgearapp.com/dashboard).
