What is Domain Mapping?
Domain Mapping allows you to map a domain name that you already own or a newly purchased domain (example: www.mydomain.com) to you BandPress url (websitename.BandPress.org).
Setting up a Mapped Domain
- You need to own a domain name 1st. If you do not already own a domain name you can buy one at Godaddy.com or any other domain register.
- After you have purchased a domain name click Tools from the main admin menu.
- Click Domain Mapping.
- Add your domain name and click Save.
- Check “Make Primary”
- Next you will need to go to where you registered your domain name and add a DNS record that points to your BandPress web address.
Creating DNS records at your Register
- You will need to create a CNAME record at your register to point to your BandPress URL.
- Create or edit a CNAME record at your host where the alias www points to domains.bandpress.org
Instructions For Godaddy.com - Next you will need to forward you domain to your mapped domain. So for example if you mapped domain is www.myband.com, you will need to forward myband.com to www.myband.com. Instructions For Godaddy
