Publishing website to custom domain
Publishing to your own domain allows your website to be available using your business domain instead of a MyPages or AdsNet URL.
For example:
Instead of: https://mypages.co.za/site/yourbusiness
You can publish to: www.yourbusiness.co.za
Before You Begin
Before publishing, make sure you have:
- An active domain name
- Access to your domain’s DNS settings
- An eligible AdsNet package that supports custom domains
Step 1
Open My Website page, Click Manage
Step 2
Select: Own Domain
Step 3
Enter your domain name.
For example:
www.yourbusiness.co.za
Step 4
Follow the DNS instructions provided by AdsNet to connect your domain.
An email will be send to you after you submit your hosting request
Your domain must point to the AdsNet hosting platform before publishing can be completed.
Step 5
Once your domain has been verified, click Publish.
Your landing page or website will then be available using your own domain.
Tips
- Use your primary business domain whenever possible.
- Keep your DNS records active to avoid interruptions.
- Allow time for DNS changes to propagate after updating your records.
- If your domain is already hosting another website, ensure any required backups are taken before making DNS changes.
Common Problems
My domain isn’t verifying
- Check that your DNS records have been entered correctly.
- Wait for DNS changes to propagate, which may take some time.
- Confirm that your package includes custom domain publishing.
