Domains
Domains are managed in your site settings. Each new site begins with a makeswift.site domain. Click “Connect your domain” or ”+ Add domain” to add a custom domain.
Once added, follow the instructions to set up your DNS to finish connecting your domain. You can also click the information icon to reopen the DNS instructions.
Updating your DNS
For domains with subdomains (e.g., www or blog), add a CNAME record with the host set to the subdomain (www, blog, etc.) and the value to makeswift.site.
For domains without subdomains (naked or root domains), add an A record with the host set to @ and the value set to 76.76.21.21.
For your main website, include both the www and non-www versions of your
domain.
Here is DNS help documentation for several common domain providers:
Setting a primary domain
After adding one or more domains, select which domain to set as the primary domain. All other domains, as well as the Makeswift domain, will redirect to the primary one.
To ensure your home page uses only the primary domain (e.g., www.mysite.com), edit the URL of the page and leave the “Path” field blank.
SSL Certificates
All Makeswift pages automatically generate SSL certificates at no extra cost. Once your DNS has fully connected to Makeswift, it may take a little more time for the SSL certificate to be generated.
