If you have already registered a domain name and want to use it for your MODO site, you will need to “point” your domain to your new MODO website. Please note that MODO users do not have email setup by default.

This process is fairly simple with most registrars, however may vary somewhat from company to company. The typical process to direct your domain (not mail) would look like this:

1. Log into your domain registry account and click “Manage Domains.”

2. Click the domain you want to redirect to your MODO site.

3. Choose "Manage DNS", then edit or create the following 2 records:

- A Record (or @ Record) for <domain.com> points to 66.33.30.82

- CNAME Record for <www.domain.com> points to <domain.com>

4. Save and exit.

5. Send a request through MODO support so our team can allow for this. Please note respective domain in request.

If you need additional help with these steps, contact your domain registrar directly. You can use this article as a reference.

A Note About Mail

MODOcms does not support or offer mail services. This can be handled by Google (free service) or any 3rd party mail provider. To make your site resolve to the correct domain name, the A Record and CNAME Record must be changed to point to the new MODO site as per instructions above.

The MX record which handles Mail must be changed to point to the existing or new mail service after the accounts are set up. If there are existing mailboxes it is important that these are set up before changing the MX record to avoid interruption in service.

The MODO Team can provide technical administration for this at a rate of $90 per hour.
