Using a domain name

[JJ]

I purchased a domain name and then I hopefully did things right under the use your own domain name.  I went and changed the nameservers but I'm not sure what to do next?  Am I suppose to wait for proboards to do something or am I suppose to do something else after I do that?  Please help.  Thanks.

Hi, JJ.

Once you've pointed your domain's nameservers to us you need to purchase the custom domain linking service in Upgrades > Custom Domains in your admin area. You can do so by clicking on I have an existing domain name and then filling out the form under the I'm ready, let's continue! heading.

Thanks so much for the info. I did what you said and now I'll wait till I see a change in the url. JJ

If you were able to successfully complete your purchase that means that the custom domain is already in place. You can visit your domain to confirm.

Both your original ProBoards URL and the custom domain URL will both continue working at the same time, but any logins on the ProBoards URL get redirected to your custom domain.

Thanks for your help, it's all good now. JJ
