Using a Custom Domain

Own a domain like sarahandjames.com? Forward it to your Wedping website so guests can type your domain and land right on your page.

How it works

Your website always lives at your Wedping link, like wedping.com/sarah-and-james. A custom domain is a shortcut to it. You set up forwarding (also called a redirect) at the company where you bought the domain, and anyone who visits your domain is sent to your Wedping link.

Wedping doesn't sell domains. If you don't have one yet, buy it from any registrar first, then come back here.

Setting it up

In the website builder, open the Settings tab and click Edit next to Page URL.
Under Custom Domain, enter your domain, for example www.sarahandjames.com.
Sign in to your registrar and set up domain forwarding to your full Wedping link, like https://wedping.com/sarah-and-james. Copy the link exactly as it appears in Settings.
Back in Wedping, check the box confirming you've finished the forwarding steps and click Save.

Forwarding instructions by registrar

Every registrar puts forwarding in a slightly different place. Here are the steps for some popular ones:

Don't see yours? Search your registrar's help pages for "domain forwarding."

Troubleshooting

My domain doesn't go anywhere yet

Forwarding can take up to 24 hours to start working. Give it a day before changing anything.

It works with www but not without it (or the other way around)

Some registrars treat sarahandjames.com and www.sarahandjames.com as separate. Set up forwarding for both.

Guests see wedping.com in the address bar

That's expected. Forwarding sends guests to your Wedping link, so the address bar shows it once the page loads.

I changed my page URL

Update the forwarding at your registrar to the new link, or your domain will point to the old one.
