Every project needs an address so visitors can reach your website. In WEMASY you choose between a free WEMASY subdomain on wemasy.app and your own domain, such as yourbusiness.com. Your own domain needs a paid plan. You set this in the Domain Configuration section of the project settings.
Where to configure your domain
- Click the gear icon next to the project switcher in the top bar.
- Open the General tab.
- Scroll to Domain Configuration.
Use a WEMASY subdomain
- Select WEMASY Domain.
- Enter the name you want in the WEMASY subdomain field, for example my-bakery.
- Click Save domain settings.
Your website will be reachable at that name followed by .wemasy.app after you publish.
Use your own domain
- Select Custom Domain.
- Enter your domain in the Domain Name field, for example example.com.
- Click Save domain settings.
- Add the DNS records that WEMASY shows at the company where you bought the domain.
- Click I have added the DNS records.
- Confirm with Yes, I've Added Them.
The DNS Status shows Pending, Unverified, or Verified. DNS changes can take up to 24 to 48 hours. Click Recheck DNS to check again; WEMASY also keeps checking in the background. Once the status is verified, publish your website to go live on the domain.
If you choose Custom Domain on the free plan, WEMASY asks you to upgrade the project first. See the pricing page.
Registering or managing domains
To buy a new domain, or to manage DNS and nameservers for domains you have with WEMASY, use Domains in the account menu. The step by step guides are in the domain registration knowledge base:
Changing your domain later
When you change the domain of a live project, WEMASY warns you that the DNS records need to be updated for the new domain. The old address is held for this project for a short time and listed under Domain unlocks on the General tab, so nobody else can claim it right away. Click Release now if you no longer need it.
Frequently asked questions
Why can I not change the domain?
Verify your email address first: accounts with an unverified email cannot change the domain. Collaborators without full rights cannot change it either; ask the project owner.
My DNS status stays unverified. What should I check?
Check that both A records (for @ and www) point to the address WEMASY shows, and remove any AAAA records for the domain. Then wait and click Recheck DNS again.
