How do I put my site on my own web address?

Before you start

• Your site needs to be live first. Put it live.
• You'll need to sign in to wherever you bought your address, like GoDaddy, Squarespace or Namecheap. Any company works.
• This isn't a transfer. Your address stays where you bought it, so there's no 60-day transfer lock, and your email keeps working.

Step by step

1. Open Launch and click Connect yourpractice.com (it shows your own address). You'll find the same button under Your domain.
2. A window opens. Pick the company where you bought your address and sign in there, in the window.
3. Approve the change. We add the settings for you, and the window closes by itself.
4. That's it. We check by ourselves and put your site on your address, usually within a few minutes. We email you when it's live.

Rather do it yourself?

1. On Your domain, click I have an address under Rather do it yourself?, type your address, and click Continue.
2. Log in to the company where you bought it in another tab and find the DNS settings (where they are at each company). Add the lines we show you; each box has a Copy button. What the lines mean
3. Come back to the page. It checks by itself, or click Check now, and shows when it's working.

Can't log in, or someone else manages it?

Click No, or I'm not sure, then Send the steps to whoever set it up: your old web designer, IT person or a family member. We email them exactly what to do, and you can watch it happen. More about this
