Connect your network's domain

Your NetworkOS network can live at a web address your organization owns, such as `network.yourorg.org`. Until it's connected, your network is at `christian.com/n/your-network`.

Connect your domain

1. Open the domain box. It's in the first activation step, Organization & domain (from Continue activation or Activation settings on your /dashboard), and on your Partner dashboard.
2. In Your network's domain, type the domain, without `https://`. A subdomain like `network.yourorg.org` is usually easiest.
3. Click Connect domain.
4. You'll see a table of DNS records with a Type, Name and Value. Copy each one.
5. Sign in to the company that manages your domain's DNS (your registrar or DNS provider) and create those records exactly as shown.
6. Come back and click Check again. Changes can take up to an hour to be seen.

When it's done, the status shows Connected and the page says Your network is served at https://[your domain].

What the statuses mean

• Waiting for DNS records: we haven't seen your records yet. Check they match, wait a little, then click Check again.
• DNS found, verifying: your records are in place and the domain is being set up.
• Waiting on our team: our team connects the domain once the records are in place, and we'll tell you when it's live.
• Connected: your network is live at your domain.
• Needs attention: something went wrong. The message under the domain says what. For example, if the domain is attached to another hosting account, remove it there, then check again.

Change your domain

Enter the new domain and click Connect again, then create its records. Your old domain stops pointing to your network.

Good to know

• Use a domain your organization owns. Christian.com addresses can't be used.
• You only need to add the records shown. Don't remove other records your domain already uses, such as email records.
