Adding a domain name to your account allows you to publish your website to the entire internet. Our service include hosting of your fully qualified domain name. This means that you can add your own custom domain name like www.yourname.com. There are up to four different options for adding a domain name to your account.

 

Option 1: Register New Domain

To register a New Domain:

1. From the admin dashboard navigate to the "Domain and Email >> Manage Domains" page.
2. On the Add Account Domain page:
   1. Enter the Domain Name in the Register New Domain section.
   2. Select the Domain extension from the drop down list.
   3. Click Check Availability.
   4. On the next screen you will be notified if the domain is available. If the domain name is not available a menu for selecting from a list of alternative domains will be presented or you can simply search for another domain name. Once you find an available domain name you can continue with the checkout process to purchase your new domain name.

Option 2: Point Existing Domain

This option is used to host your existing domain with Zealder while leaving it registered with your current domain registrar.

1. From the admin dashboard navigate to the "Domain and Email >> Manage Domains" page.
2. On the Add Account Domain page:
   1. Enter the Domain Name in the Point Existing Domain section.
   2. Select the Domain extension from the drop down box.

      2. The Authorization Code for your domain name which you must contact your current registrar to retrieve.
