How to Change Domain Name

• To change your domain name, navigate to “Website & Apps”-->” Settings” in the CMS.
• Under "Domain Name", on the extreme right-hand side of the domain name, click on the "Edit" icon.
• Type your new domain name.
• To save your new domain, click on "Save".

Note: After updating your new domain name, change the DNS settings of your domain name to point to our IP address to go live. Our IP address is mentioned in the "Note" section (i.e., IP addresses 13.248.239.197 & 76.223.109.78). Once you change the domain name, the previous domain name that was created during the signup (i.e., your-previous-domain.muvi.com) will be removed automatically.

 

 

How to Point Your Domain to Our IP

To point your domain name to our IP Address, first, you need to create an "A" record or Address Record. "A" record points a domain or subdomain to an IP address. For example, you can point www.yourdomain.com to our IP address. "A" record provides information about your host/domain name IP address. Please follow the below-mentioned steps to create an "A" record.

• Sign in to your account (i.e. GoDaddy, Bluehost, etc.)
• Go to your domain.
• Click on the Advanced DNS/Manage DNS.
• You will find the host records section in the DNS.
• Click on the add/edit record button.
• Select "A" record for type and you must enter the host that is pointing to our IP address.
• Create "A" as below.
• In the "Host" field, type "@" (See Below Screenshot)
• In the "Points To" field, type our IP addresses. (i.e., IP address 13.248.239.197 & 76.223.109.78)
• In the "CNAME" field, type "WWW".
• Click on "Save".
