How to add a custom domain
After choosing the template, the next step for setting up your account will be adding a custom domain. It is a unique name that identifies your website.
Important Note: Adding a custom domain is not compulsory. Your website can act as one of Uteach’s subdomains.
When you register, the system provides you with a subdomain with your brand name plus uteach.io.
However, you can connect your own domain. To add a custom domain, please follow these steps:
Step 1. Navigate to the Settings tab on the left of your dashboard.
Click on the Domain subtab.
Here you can see your current active domain.
To change the existing domain, fill in the field Add new domain.
Step 2. After clicking on the Save button, the instructions will be displayed.
The instructions also contain the nameservers you are going to use.
Step 3. Log in to your hosting provider account and enter the provided nameservers.
If you haven’t decided where to buy the domain yet, our best recommendations are GoDaddy, Namecheap, Hostinger & Bluehost. They are budget-friendly and simple to manage.
As you are back on the dashboard, your new domain name will appear in passive mode. Click on the button Set Active to make it your primary domain.
