How to connect your domain to Weebly

Want to link your domain to a Weebly.com site (not Porkbun's powered-by-Weeblysite builder)? We can do that!

Before we begin, you will need to add your domain to Weebly.  This article from Weebly Support will show you how. 

Following the steps in the article above, you’ll be shown two options for making the necessary DNS changes to your domain: one for doing it yourself, and one for emailing your domain host for assistance. Here's how to do it

Setting up your Weebly A records

1

Log in. You should arrive at the Domain Management screen. If you're already logged in, click on ACCOUNT in the top-right corner and select Domain Management.

2

Click the Details button to the far right of your domain, to show the domain Details area. In the domain Details area, click the "Edit" option next to DNS records.

3

On the Manage DNS Records screen, scroll down and locate any ALIAS or CNAME records that are currently pointing at the wrong web server. Click the trash can icons to the right of the bad records to remove them. Your default records will likely answer pixie.porkbun.com or pixie-parking.porkbun.com, those are the ones to delete

4

Scroll up to the top of the Manage DNS Records screen to add the correct A records. Generally, you want one record for requests for www.yourdomain.example and one for yourdomain.example (without the www.) Here's what you want to enter for the first record:

Type: "A - Address record"

Host: "www"

Answer: The IP Address the Hostname points to (which you can find by changing your site address in the settings.)

...then hit the green "Add" button.

For the second record, you'll repeat the same steps as above, only the Host will be left blank.

Type: "A - Address record"

Host:  left blank

Answer: Again, this will be the IP Address the Hostname points to (which you can find by changing your site address in the settings.)
...then hit the green "Add" button.

That's it! Publish the site on Weebly, wait a few minutes, and the site should be live.
