USE A CUSTOM DOMAIN

This feature is available on Power plans and above.

SmugMug will always be there for you, but we don't have to be in your URL. With
a few quick steps, you can hook up your custom domain to point right to your
site.

Example: Use www.theoriginalblackcat.com instead of blackcatphoto.smugmug.com.

Note: We issue a SSL Certificate for your custom domain while it's pointed to
your SmugMug site.

 * GoDaddy
 * DIY


OPTION 1: SMUGDOMAINS.

No domain? No problem! SmugMug has partnered with a domain provider to offer you
a one-stop, effortless domain setup.



 * Go here and pick an available domain name. Follow the steps to make it yours.
 * Visit your SmugMug Account Settings > Me > Account tab for the "Custom
   Domain" line. Enter your new domain name into the box and click "Save".
   That's it!


OPTION 2: GODADDY.

Already have a domain with GoDaddy? Great!

If you purchased your domain name directly from GoDaddy, visit your SmugMug
Account Settings > Me > Account tab for the "Custom Domain" line. Then click the
link for GoDaddy Connect.



A window will pop up to walk you through connecting your GoDaddy domain to your
SmugMug account. 

Important: Don't see the pop up? Check your browser settings. If you're blocking
pop ups, you will need to temporarily allow them to see the GoDaddy sign in
shown below.



Follow the on-screen instructions to log in with your GoDaddy account
information and complete the connection to your SmugMug site.


OPTION 3: DIY.

If you purchased your domain name from another provider, be sure to check your
domain registrar's setup instructions to prevent problems. And make sure you're
using your registrar's default nameservers.

 1. Point your CNAME 'www' to domains.smugmug.com.
 2. Within the domain forwarding area, point the version of your domain address
    without the www to the address with the www: example.com > www.example.com.
 3. Using a subdomain to point at SmugMug? There's no need to set up domain
    forwarding, or an A Record.
 4. Visit your SmugMug Account Settings > Me > Account tab for the "Custom
    Domain" line. Enter your new domain name into the box and click "Save".
    That's it!

As long as you do not change the other DNS records, like the MX records, your
domain email and subdomains connected to blogs and such will continue to work.
