  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 the root domain – enter it in the “Domain” field

    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

  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 A record, where:

    – write the @ symbol as the name, or the the subdomain selected to connect to mssg.me;

    – as the host address enter next IP address 195.201.195.53
    Please note: if you connect a domain that is located in the .KZ zone (for example domain.kz), then enter the IP address 185.146.3.138 as the host address

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

    For example:
    – if you connect the root domain example.com to mssg.me, then when creating a record of type A, you need to write the @ symbol as the name, and 195.201.195.53 as the IP host address

    – if you connect www.example.com to mssg.me, then when creating A record, you need to write www as the name, and 195.201.195.53 as the IP host address

  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 A record.

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