Custom Domain

How long after registering domain does it take for it to be able to be entered into the smugmug custom domain field?

Hi Jay you should be able to set it up right away. You do need to set up two host records first though before you can add the domain name to your SmugMug Control Panel.

@ A record pointing to 208.79.45.23
www CNAME pointing to domains.smugmug.com

Once the nameservers have updated, which can take up to 72 hours, you'll need to add your domain to your SmugMug Control Panel>Settings. If it doesn't accept it right away try again later. The Control Panel will not accept it until the nameservers have updated.

More info here on the SmugMug wiki: http://wiki.smugmug.net/display/SmugMug/CNAME+Custom+Domain+Name+Help

As always, we're happy to do the setup for you - it takes only minutes to do, usually. If you need assistance, I will need:

* your smugmug nickname or a link to it (not the custom hostname)
* your domain host name (who is your domain registrar)
* your custom domain (some users have multiples so I need to know which to work on)
* the login id at the domain host
* the domain host password (I do not need your SmugMug login)

Change your password to something random and send me that new password.

Please do not post that info here. Email it to us here: http://www.smugmug.com/help/emailreal
