You can use your existing domain purchased from another company with LogoMaker&#8217;s website package. Simply update your DNS settings to point your domain to our servers. This process essentially directs traffic to your website, which we host.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How to update DNS settings:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Option 1: Contact your domain provider<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Contact your domain provider&#8217;s customer support. Many providers will update your DNS settings for you or provide detailed guidance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Request to change your A-Records for &#8220;www&#8221; and your root domain to point to 199.34.228.59, while keeping your current domain registrar.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Option 2: DIY Update<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you prefer, you can update the DNS settings yourself. This involves changing the * and www hostnames (or @ if * is not present) to point to 199.34.228.59. Specific steps may vary based on your domain seller&#8217;s interface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Right now, you&#8217;ll see something like this in your DNS settings:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh7-us.googleusercontent.com\/t4ZquwacLZd7TEJ6LPM-eVkCQjitTMtxrTBHMLAuNyN7Q3Rq9VUCbrq-Kb6p2B16uozeaM-uRViah8vfObEdTZLxTfKnmjdDXYS--5K6Yb4URMmgIWYkFOflfT8Rt-eh9l_6G5e_lShIMraUCp0Mau4\" alt=\"Menu of Sample DNS Server A Records\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You must edit the * and www hostnames to point to 199.34.228.59. If you have an @ hostname instead of a * hostname, you need to change the @ and www hostnames. If you see hostnames of yourdomain.com and<a href=\"http:\/\/www.yourdomain.com\"> www.yourdomain.com<\/a>, you must update both of them.
