  1. Open the “My Websites” section in your mssg.me personal account, you can go to this section by clicking here

  2. Click on one of the created sites

  3. Open the “Settings” section

  4. Open the “Domain” section

  5. For use a subdomain of the main domain – in the “Domain” field, enter the domain name in the format subdomain.domain.com

    For example:
    domain example.com with subdomain www needs to be entered like this www.example.com

    To use the root domain – enter it in the “Domain” field.

  6. On the side of your domain registrar, hosting provider or DNS server, depending on where config the DNS records of your domain, go to the domain DNS records management section and create a CNAME record, where:

    – write the subdomain selected to connect to mssg.me as the name, or the @ symbol if you are configuring the connection for the root domain;

    – as the host alias (canonical name) enter page.mssg.me. (with a dot at the end)
    Please note: if you connect a domain that is located in the .KZ zone (for example, www.domain.kz), then enter kzpage.mssg.me. (with a dot at the end) as the host alias (canonical name)

    If you have other records of type A, AAAA or CNAME with a name connected to mssg.me, delete them.

    Example:
    – if you connect www.example.com to mssg.me, then when creating a CNAME record, you need to write www as the name, and page.mssg.me. (with a dot at the end) – as the host alias (canonical name);

    – if you connect the root domain example.com to mssg.me, then when creating a record of type CNAME or ALIAS, you need to write the @ symbol as the name, and page.mssg.me. (with a dot at the end) – as the host alias (canonical name)

  7. If necessary, on the side of your domain registrar, hosting provider or DNS server, depending on where config the DNS records of your domain, set up a redirect from the root domain to the subdomain connected to mssg.me, or from the used subdomain to the root domain

  8. Your domain will be connected in 3-24hrs after you add correct CNAME record.

  9. Use the connected domain as the URL address for your site in mssg.me
