Your domain & DNS

You bring your own domain. It stays registered where you bought it; you only point its nameservers to us.

Point your nameservers to us (at your registrar)

  1. Log in at the company where you registered your domain (your registrar).
  2. Open your domain's Nameservers setting (sometimes under "DNS" or "Manage domain") and choose custom nameservers.
  3. Replace the existing entries with:
    ns1.1.bunnyly.com
    ns2.1.bunnyly.com
  4. Save.
How long? Usually a few hours, at most 48 hours. You can add the domain in the panel straight away; SSL works once the change has gone through.
Moving from another host? Changing nameservers moves your website and any email for the domain. Keep a copy of anything important from your old host first.

Add your website

  1. In the panel, open the Web tab and click Add Web Domain.
  2. Type your domain without www or https://, for example demo.com. The IP address is filled in for you.
  3. Tick DNS Support. This creates your domain's DNS records on our nameservers. Without it your domain won't work here.
  4. Tick Mail Support only if you want email at this domain. You can also add it later.
  5. Click Save.
Add Web Domain form with demo.com entered and DNS Support ticked
Add Web Domain: enter your domain and tick DNS Support.

Within about 2 minutes WordPress is installed on the new domain. Find your WordPress login. Your plan includes up to 5 domains.

Your DNS records

Open the DNS tab and click your domain to see its records. They're created automatically: nameservers, your website address (with and without www), mail (MX), SPF, DMARC and DKIM.

Add a record (for example to verify your domain)

Services like Google Search Console sometimes ask you to add a TXT or CNAME record.

  1. In the DNS tab, click your domain, then Add Record.
  2. Enter the Record name (use @ for the domain itself), choose the Type, and paste the IP or Value exactly as the service gave it.
  3. Click Save.
Add DNS Record form with Record, Type and Value fields
Add DNS Record.

Records that are reset every hour

To keep your website and email working, these core records are checked every hour and put back if they were changed: the NS records, the website A records, MX and SPF. Records you add yourself are left alone.

Is my domain pointing to us yet?

Use any online "NS lookup" tool. When it shows ns1.1.bunnyly.com and ns2.1.bunnyly.com for your domain, it's done.
