Use your own web address for your site

This lets readers visit your site at a web address you own, such as yourname.com, instead of yourname.bulletpointpublishing.com. 1. Buy the domain from a domain company if you do not own one yet. 2. Choose My site, then Profile and design. 3. Under Use your own web address (optional), enter your domain and choose Connect domain. 4. Log in to the company you bought the domain from and open its DNS settings. 5. Add the record shown on screen. It is either an A record that points to 76.76.21.21, or a CNAME record that points to cname.vercel-dns.com. 6. Wait. It can take up to a day to start working. To go back, choose Remove domain. Your site stays live at yourname.bulletpointpublishing.com either way. Good to know: this switches on when you subscribe. During your free trial you can build your site and collect subscribers. The screen shows your domain as connected as soon as you save it. It does not check that your DNS record is working, so if your site does not load after a day, check the record with your domain company.
