Using a Custom Domain Name (netfirms.com and dotster.com)

Custom domain names are supported by Lite and Pro plans only.

Using a Custom Domain name with your clickbooq website involves a couple easy changes to your domain’s DNS records.

Note: In order to make these DNS changes, your domain must be set to use the default nameservers of your registrar. If you currently have website hosting through another provider and wish to keep it for your domain, stop this procedure, then contact your hosting provider to make the necessary A-record changes for your domain as reverting to the default nameservers will terminate any 3rd party hosting services for your domain once they are changed.

Here's how:

1. Log into your Netfirms or Dotster account, then click the "DomainCentral" button in your control panel:

2. Click the domain name link that you want to edit the DNS records for:

3. Select the DNS link. Make sure that your nameservers indicate the default nameservers for your registrar (e.g. Netfirms or Dotster). If not, please review the first paragraph of this article.

4. Select "A Record" from the Modify dropdown menu. Then select "Edit" next to the top record. The record should be your domain name by itself (i.e. "yourdomain.com"):

5. Enter our server IP address 54.149.58.176  and click Save:

6. Now, select CNAME from the Modify dropdown. Enter www for the Host, and point it to sites.clickbooq.com (double-check the spelling! that is a 'Q' at the end!) and click Save.

7. Log into the Toolbox at https://app.clickbooq.com and click the Settings tab. Enter your custom domain name without the 'http://', i.e. "www.yourdomain.com". Click the Update button when you are finished.

8. Your website is now using your custom domain. Please allow 24 hours for the DNS changes to propagate throughout the Internet, after which time it will resolve to our servers and your new clickbooq website. Congratulations!

Need help with these changes?

If you need assistance with making these DNS changes, you have two options: 1) contact your domain registrar’s (or hosting provider) support team and they can make these changes for you, or 2) provide us with the appropriate login information to one of our support specialists by submitting a Support Ticket.

Please note: This is not a registrar transfer. Your domain name registration will remain with your registrar, and you are still responsible for domain name fees and renewals with your current registrar.
