How to Connect your Domain to your Website 

Starting a new business? Going through a rebrand? Or maybe you have a promo idea and want a simple domain to send people to. Why not lock in a .kiwi domain. Search and buy your .kiwi domain name here. 


Your domain name is your unique web address on the internet. In other words, if your website was your home, your domain name is your address. Your guests use it to access your website through their web or mobile browsers.

Now, let's get your domain working for you by connecting it to your website or landing page. Whether you're launching a brand-new site or already have one, this step is crucial. Don’t have one yet? Check out these articles on how to build a landing page and a website.  


How to Connect Your Domain to Your Website It may sound technical, but don't worry – it's easier than you think! Connecting your domain involves two steps: 

  1. Pointing Your Domain: You need to update the DNS (Domain Name System) settings to point your domain to your website. This can be done through your domain provider’s control panel. Look for the option to update or manage DNS settings. See below for specific instructions for some of our most popular Registrars. Log into the control panel with the Registrar you purchased domain from. 

  2. Redirecting Your Domain: If you’ve already got a website using a different domain but want to switch to your .kiwi, you can redirect traffic to your new address. This is usually an option in the same DNS settings. Log into the account with the Registrar you purchased your domain and look at your DNS settings.  


Platforms Make it Easy! Platforms like WordPress, Wix, or Squarespace offer guides to connect your custom domain in minutes. Most hosting platforms have easy-to-follow instructions, no technical jargon needed. Still stuck? Most registrars offer customer support, or you can look up simple tutorials online. 


Make it Happen! Kiwis are known for being innovative. Just look at successful businesses like Xero, Rocket Lab, and Allbirds. Your venture could be the next big thing! Let's start by getting that website connected to your shiny new .kiwi domain. You’re one step closer to showing the world what you’ve got!
