Once your site has been activated by paying the registration fee, you can connect your domain name by following the steps below.
Step 1: Set the domain name in your account dashboard
Visit the Sites section of your account dashboard, then enter the domain name you would like to use under Set your domain name, then click Save.
Step 2: Update the DNS records with your domain provider
