I already have my domain name (.com), how do I make it work with my Bandmo website?

The Quick Answer:

• If you chose your own domain name free of charge from bandmo, you do not need to follow this guide, it’s been setup automatically for you.
• If you purchased a domain name from another company (such as Godaddy or Namecheap) and you want to link your Bandmo website with it, you will need to follow those specific instructions…

You have to configure 2 things in order to make your domain name  work with your bandmo site.

1. Setup your bandmo account “domain name” settings;
2. Setup your domain hosting company DNS (Domain Name System) settings;

1. Login into your website dashboard and click “domain name” in the sidebar

2. Setup your domain hosting company DNS settings

Always keep in mind that when after the changes to your DNS records done, it may take up to 48 hours to see your bandmo website when you type in your url in a web browser address bar…

Alright, so this is the painful part for every musicians out there. Do not worry! If you are having issues with this step, do not panic! Stay calm. Each domain name registering company has a slightly different way to create CNAME (or Canonical Name) records. We try to provide guidelines here for the most common services we have encountered. If your domain name has been registered with another company not listed below send me us an email at support@bandmo.com and we will help you out!
