Can I use a Domain Name I purchased elsewhere?

If you already own a domain name from a registrar service such as REGISTER.COM, or GODADDY, or even a name you previously registered with us, it is possible to use this name with your site.

To use an existing name, follow these instructions:

  1. Go to the ‘Manage Sites’ page (the ‘manage’ menu option) and find your site in the list of ‘My Sites’. Make sure your site is LIVE.
  2. Go to your Registrar service (where you purchased your domain name, e.g. REGISTER.COM) and login to your account.
  3. You need to change the ‘DNS’ or ‘Name Servers’ for your domain name to be:
    > ns1.singlepropertysites.com
    > ns2.singlepropertysites.com
  4. Now, login to your SinglePropertySites account and choose to edit the domain name for this Site.
  5. At the “Buy a Domain Name” page, click the blue link that says (in BLUE)
    Click Here if you want to use a domain name you already own.
  6. Follow the instructions given on the next pages that are displayed.

Please contact your domain name registrar service help desk if you need further assistance.

Note: We are unable to offer technical assistance for setting DNS at your Registrar. Please contact the customer support staff at your domian name registrar if you need assistance.
