Use your existing Namesco domain on OfferingTree

Connect your Namesco domain to your OfferingTree site by updating your domain's DNS settings. This allows you to maintain ownership of your domain and continue to renew it directly through Namesco. You will continue to be responsible for paying for your domain through Namesco.

Here's how:

1. Log in to Namesco: Go to Namesco.com and log in to your account.

2. Manage Domains: Navigate to the section for managing your domains. This might be called "My Domains," "Domain Management," or similar.

3. Select Your Domain: Choose the domain you want to connect to OfferingTree.

4. Edit DNS or Zone File: Look for a section called "DNS," "DNS Management," "Zone File," or similar. This is where you'll manage the DNS records.

5. Add/Edit DNS Records: You'll need to add or edit two records:

   • WWW CNAME Record:

     • If a CNAME record for "www" exists: Find it and edit it.
     • If a CNAME record for "www" doesn't exist: Add a new record.
     • Type: CNAME
     • Host/Name: www
     • Value/Points to/Target: customdomains.offeringtree.com

   • @ A Record (for your root domain):

     • If an A record for "@" or your root domain (e.g., yourdomain.co.uk) exists: Find it and edit it.
     • If an A record for "@" or your root domain doesn't exist: Add a new record.
     • Type: A
     • Host/Name: @ (or your root domain)
     • Value/Points to/IP Address: 35.209.110.2

6. Save Changes: Save the changes you've made to the DNS records.

7. Check your DNS: Back in OfferingTree, open Site Settings → Domains and click Check my DNS. Your site goes live on its own a few minutes after your records are saved — there is no need to contact us. For the full walkthrough, see How To Get Your Own Custom Domain.

Important Notes for Namesco:

• Namesco Interface: Namesco's interface might vary slightly. If you have trouble finding the correct settings, consult their help documentation or contact their support.
• Zone File vs. Individual Records: Namesco might present your DNS records in a "zone file" format, or they might allow you to add/edit individual records. The principles are the same; you just need to locate the correct place to add the CNAME and A records.
• Propagation: After saving your DNS changes, it can take some time for them to propagate across the internet. Be patient.
• Support: If you have any trouble, contact Namesco's customer support for assistance. They are the best resource for questions about their specific interface.
• Root Domain: The "@" symbol often represents your root domain (e.g., yourdomain.co.uk). Some providers might use a different way to indicate the root domain, so check their documentation or contact support if you're not sure.
