Can I Use My Own Domain Name on Weebly?

Last updated on September 28, 2022 @ 3:21 pm

If you have a domain name, you can use it with Weebly! You’ll just need to point your domain name to Weebly’s nameservers.

Don’t have a domain name? You can purchase one through Weebly as well. Keep reading to learn how to use your domain name with Weebly.

Using an Existing Domain Name

If you have an existing domain name, you can use it with your Weebly site by pointing your domain name’s DNS to Weebly’s nameservers. You can do this in the DNS management settings of your domain registrar’s control panel. Once you’ve updated your DNS settings, your domain name will work with Weebly!

PRO TIP: If you are planning to use your own domain name with Weebly, be aware that there are some potential risks. First, if you use a free Weebly account, your site will include ads from Weebly. If you use a paid account, you can remove the ads, but your site will still include a link back to Weebly. Additionally, if you ever decide to stop using Weebly, transferring your domain name away can be difficult. For these reasons, it’s generally recommended that you use a separate domain name registrar and hosting service, and then use Weebly (or another website builder) as your site builder.

Purchasing a Domain Name through Weebly

Don’t have a domain name yet? No problem! You can purchase one through Weebly.

Just head to your site’s editor and click on the “Settings” tab. Then, click on “Domain” in the left-hand sidebar. From there, you can search for and purchase a new domain name.

Conclusion

You can use your own domain name with Weebly by either pointing your DNS to Weebly’s nameservers or by purchasing a domain name through Weebly. Doing either of these will allow you to use your own domain name with your Weebly site.
