Smore Domain Name Setup
There are two simple methods to do this, depending on your needs.
In any of these cases, your registrar should have detailed instructions on how to do this.
Method 1 - Change name servers
This method is easy and should probably fit most users.
On your domain hosting service, you'll need to configure your nameservers as ns1.smore.com and ns2.smore.com.
- Advantages: Very easy to configure on most registrars.
- Disadvantages: You can't use this method if you're using this domain for emails or using any subdomains.
Method 2 - Add a CNAME record
In this method, you need to add a CNAME record to your domain, that points to domains.smore.com.
- Advantages: This allows you to use subdomains and receive emails with this domain name.
- Disadvantages: For most registrars, this method is a trickier to configure.
