How do I point my domain to PhotoBiz's IP address?

September 03, 2024 | By: PhotoBiz Knowledge Base

You can use an existing domain name that you've already purchased and registered with a 3rd party. While we generally recommend updating your domain name servers to point to your PhotoBiz account, there are certain situations where you might need to direct it to PhotoBiz's IP address with A records. This guide will walk you through the steps to point to your existing domain registration to PhotoBiz IP address with A records.

This domain setup method can potentially cause issues with running pay per click campaign tracking and how search engine's crawl your website depending on your DNS providers settings and what sort of firewall they have in place. We recommend point your domain name servers to your PhotoBiz account when you're ready to launch your website. 

IMPORTANT NOTE:

We recommend completing your website layout and design prior to setting up your domain name. During your domain set up process, you'll temporarily lose access to your website builder while the domain updates to point to your PhotoBiz account. This generally will take 24-48 hours and once your domain propagates and your SSL encryption goes live, you'll have access to your website builder and content restored. 


STEP ONE

You'll need to submit your domain name setup request within your PhotoBiz account control panel. Once we've received your domain setup request, our domain specialists will replace your temporary domain with your domain and send you a confirmation email.

STEP TWO

After your domain setup request is completed, you'll want to log into your DNS host and update the following DNS records to point your domain name to your PhotoBiz account:

The records are:

Type: A
Host: @
Value: 18.235.135.157
TTL: lowest possible

Type: A
Host: *
Value: 18.235.135.157
TTL: lowest possible

Type: CNAME
Host: www
Value:@
TTL: lowest possible

After you have updated those records, please allow up to 48 hours for propagation to complete, and your PhotoBiz website will be live.

Next: Activate Your SSL Encryption
