Navigate to the Domain Manager section in the green menu of the Admin Settings. Select the domain you added to be used for your Winnable site. Once you select your domain from the list, you should see a status in the top-left that displays Unused. You should also see 3 options near the middle of the screen: "Connect a Winnable site", "Add a common mailer or email provider", and "Add a custom DNS record". Go back to the previous article if you don't see this.
Link Your Winnable Site
Select "Connect a Winnable site" from the options in the center of the screen. You should see the site you created in previous steps in the dropdown that appears. If you want to connect your domain to a Winnable site that is already linked to a different domain in your account, reach out to our team for help.
If you don't see your Winnable site listed in the dropdown, and you're certain you created a site successfully and have not linked that site to a domain already, then reach out to our team for help.
Select the site you want to live at this domain. Then hit "Connect this site" to save your progress.
Your domain status should update to display Active.
If you navigate to the Sites section of the green menu in Admin Settings, you should now see your custom domain listed under the name of your site.
Your site hosting is now set up, and you can move forward with adding content! Select Back to Site in the bottom left of the green menu to navigate back to the site editor where you can add all the content you want to display to your site visitors.
If you want to use your custom domain to send email, move on to the next article to learn how to set this up. This means you'll be sending emails from an email address that ends with @yourdomain.com. For example, support@winnable.app is an email address on our winnable.app domain.
