Hi it's Colin McIntyre and I just wanted to welcome you to this video it's very short
and it shows you how to connect your Ionos 1 & 1 domain to Builderall. So one
area you I would definitely use a custom domain is an authority blog. So you can see I'm creating
an authority blog, at the moment, branded to me. That's going to be for use in.. that's replacing
my WordPress blogs, I'm creating them now in Builderall. So I don't like that
URL. There's no branding to myself! So I would change it. So as you're creating the blog you
get this option that says "do you want to change the URL?, do you want to use a custom domain
name?". So what I'm going to show you is - yes, if I want to use a custom domain name and
I want to use one that's currently held in Ionos 1 & 1. Okay, so if you say.. you
click that button - it says "do you want to use a custom domain?" and it then says connect a
domain. So let's go and log in to this site. let me just move myself out the way. Okay sign in.
Okay so
you then click to domains and I have one and it's called colintmcintyre.org - which is ideal
for a blog. It's branded to me: Colin T McIntyre. So I copy that and drop that in the blog.
So that's what I need to do here, but at that end I need to add these nameservers because
Builderall is actually going to take hosting away from 1 & 1 and host it in Builderall.
So using Builderall nameservers. Whoops let's do that again. So first one, so now I'm
on this. I just click the domain, I get this menu and I'm interested in changing nameservers.
Okay, so I'm going to use custom nameservers. So these are the default Ionos 1 & 1
servers. I'm not going to be using those because I want Builderall to host my system and so I put
the first one in there, and let's go back and I'm sure the second one but let's do it - is
that one there. I don't need that full stop at the end. Copy and I just need to save that
and that's it. Now to change hosting, to propagate from one nameserver to another can take up
to 48 hours. It's really rare that that happens. I normally find that it happens within a matter
of minutes, but I'm not going to wait for it to propagate. But as I say normally within a few
minutes it will start showing status here will be "custom servers" and it will show the
nameservers that we took from this blog. When that happens you hit the "connect domain" and
it will tell you that it is connected successfully. really it is as simple as that. I hope you've
enjoyed the video and you found it useful. If you have please subscribe to my channel where
