Set Up Your Domain
In order to host a website with Filmbot, you'll need to select a domain. Note that we will need to have full takeover of either a domain that you own. You won't be able to keep an existing site at the same location, so please keep this in mind as you select the domain you'd like to use.
- Purchase the domain from your preferred domain registrar, if you haven't already.
- Email support@filmbot.com and let us know what the domain is. If this is a domain that you've already been using, please also let us know about any existing DNS records that are in place for any subdomains you use.
- Once we've added the domain to our system, we'll reply with a list of nameservers.
- Log into the domain registrar where you purchased the domain, set up custom DNS servers using the list we provided. Be sure to remove any other nameservers that may have previously been set. If you need any assistance with this, contact us at support@filmbot.com and we'll be happy to help.
- Let us know when that's ready, and we'll keep an eye out for it to finish propagating. This process can take up to 72 hours, but is typically done within 24 hours.
That's all you need to do -- once it's done propagating, we can move forward with creating your free SSL certificate and provisioning your site!
