Your site's domain is like its street address; it lets other people find your website home. Setting up your site domain is very important. While BoxCast Sites does not host your domains, you can purchase a domain and connect it to your published site by creating a CNAME and two A records in your DNS settings.
Go Live
Taking your site live requires publishing your site, setting up your domain, and setting up your domain through your domain host.
Publish a Site
For your site to show up at any domain, you first need to publish it. To publish your site:
In your editor, on the top right, click Publish. If your site was previously published, click Republish.
Set up a Domain
After a site is published, you are prompted to select from one of the following domain options:
Default Domain. This is a domain hosted by BoxCast, and is not good for your site’s SEO. The URL will be a subdomain of BoxCast’s with your custom naming. You may use the original default domain.
To change your domain at any time after publishing your site, in the side panel, click Settings, Site URL, and then click Change site URL.
If you need assistance in setting up the domain host, we have help for you here.

BoxCast searches most large domain host providers, and we are continually adding more domain host providers. To see a list of supported providers, see the documentation.
