How to buy and connect your own domain to Photler?

 

If you don’t already have a registered domain you can buy one through our site. We are not a domain provider but we can help you to buy one through Photler. In order to do so follow the guide below. To buy a domain through Photler, log in to your User Panel and go to ‘Settings’.

domain1_1

Choose ‘Domain’. Here you can buy, connect, and manage domains associated with your website.

domain2

Under the ‘Buy domain’ in the ‘Enter domain name’ window enter a domain name you want to have. If it’s not available there will appear a note and suggested domains names you can choose from.

You’ll be directed to the website where you can buy a domain. Follow the instructions you find there to complete the process of registering new domain.

If you need help with registering a domain name click below according to the domain provider you have chosen:

GoDaddy

Google Domains

WordPress

1&1 (you need to scroll down and click ‘How do I register a domain name with 1&1?’)

Namecheap

Enom

Network Solutions

Bluehost

DreamHost

Please notice the domain name registration process might not be immediate. You should receive an email notification asking you to verify your email address 1 to 2 days after you have registered the domain name.

Once you have registered the domain name you need to connect it to your website on Photler. To get to know how to do this read the guide below.

Log in to your account on your domain provider website. Find there a site to manage domains (in the ‘Domains’ section) and follow the instructions listed according to the instructions of modifying name servers.

You should point your domain to our server - you can do it by setting up the A record in your domain configuration and pointing it to the Photler's IP address: 91.185.190.190.

You need to do it on your domain provider’s website.

The process is different for each registrar. Instructions for popular registrars are available below:

GoDaddy

Google Domains

WordPress

1&1

Namecheap

Enom

Network Solutions

BlueHost

DreamHost

Please note, it may take up to 48 hours (in case of DreamHost even up to 72h) until the new name servers are updated.

Now log in to your User Panel and go to ‘Settings’.

domain1_1

Choose ‘Domain’. Here you can buy, connect, and manage domains associated with your website.

domain2

Under the ‘Connect your own domain’ enter your new domain name and click ‘Connect’ button.

domain6

A new panel will open with the records you need to fill in with your domain provider name servers (DNS1 and DNS2) so your domain connects to Photler. You can find DNS you need on your domain provider account or contact the support department at your domain registrar for help if necessary.

Click ‘Change’. A confirmation page will be displayed. Please note, it may take up to 48 hours until the new name servers set are recognized by all servers/computers on the Internet.
