Purchase a Custom Domain

Use a custom domain (for example, www.yoursite.com) to make it easy for customers to find your site. If you do not already own a domain name, you need to purchase one to connect to your site. A custom domain puts your brand front and center, making your site more memorable to visitors and allowing you to set up additional security measures for your site.

Other Domain Registrars

When you purchase your domain from a different registrar, you need to follow additional steps to connect the domain to your website. For more information, see Go Live, Publish, and Set Up Your Domain or check out the domains section for specific instructions for your provider.

When choosing a registrar, make sure the registrar you choose supports CNAME records and 301 redirects.
