Step-by-step instructions for connecting your Crazy Domains domain to WedSites.

If you registered your domain with Crazy Domains, follow these steps to add the DNS records needed to connect it to your WedSites wedding website.

Make sure you've added your domain to WedSites first. Go to Settings > General and enter your custom domain, then save. Then come back here to set up your DNS records.

You'll need access to your Crazy Domains account. Make sure you can log in and that you have permission to manage DNS for your domain.

You'll be adding these two records to your Crazy Domains domain:

Important: You only need the A record if you're using an apex domain (like yourwedding.com). You only need the CNAME if you're using a subdomain (like www.yourwedding.com). We recommend adding both so both versions of your domain work.

Go to crazydomains.com.au (or your regional Crazy Domains site) and sign in to your account.

Look for any existing A records in the list.

If you see existing A records for @ or the root domain:
- You need to delete any A records that don't point to 37.16.10.26
- Having multiple A records causes your domain to only work sometimes
- Click Delete or Remove next to each conflicting record

Common conflicting records to look for:
- Crazy Domains default parking page A records
- Website builder A records
- Old hosting A records

Using a custom subdomain? If you're using something like wedding.yourwedding.com instead of www, replace "www" with "wedding" in the Name field.

After saving, check the DNS records list to confirm both records appear:
- An A record for @ pointing to 37.16.10.26
- A CNAME record for www pointing to domains.wedsites.com

Wait for DNS propagation. Crazy Domains DNS changes typically take 15 minutes to 24 hours to fully propagate.

SSL certificate is automatic. Once your domain connects, we'll automatically add an SSL certificate so your site works with https. This happens within a few hours of your domain connecting.

Test your domain. After waiting, try visiting your domain in a browser. You should see your wedding website!

Domain not working after several hours?
- Double-check that you entered the DNS records exactly as shown above
- Make sure you deleted any conflicting A records
- Check that you entered your domain in WedSites under Settings > General

Still seeing Crazy Domains parking page?
- Delete all default A records for the root domain
- Check if your domain has website forwarding enabled and disable it
- Try clearing your browser cache or testing in incognito mode

Can't find DNS settings?
- Log in to your Crazy Domains account and navigate to your domain's management page
- Look for "DNS Settings", "DNS Management", or "Advanced DNS" in the domain options
- If you can't see this option, contact Crazy Domains support to enable DNS management

CNAME issues?
- Make sure the Name is "www" and not "@"
- Verify the Value field is exactly: domains.wedsites.com
- Check that you don't already have a CNAME for www — delete the old one first

Need to verify DNS setup?
- Go to dnschecker.org
- Enter your domain and select "A" record type
- You should see 37.16.10.26 in the results

Australian registrar: Crazy Domains is popular in Australia. Their regional sites include crazydomains.com.au, crazydomains.co.nz, and others. The DNS management interface is the same across all regions.

Website builder conflict: If you're using Crazy Domains' website builder or web hosting, it may automatically manage DNS records. Disconnect or disable these services before adding custom DNS records.

Nameservers: For DNS records managed through Crazy Domains to work, your domain must use Crazy Domains' nameservers. If you've changed nameservers to another provider, manage DNS there instead.

Email hosting: If you use Crazy Domains for email, your MX records are separate and won't be affected by adding these A and CNAME records.
