How to connect your own domain name to your website

Details on how to connect your own domain to your website

 

To connect your existing domain name to your Yellow website, you will need to make changes in your domain providers management website (we at Yellow don't have access to your domain name management tool).

 

We have provided instructions on how to do this ( for the major domain name providers) below.

 

Before you start you will need the following information to hand:

  • The name of the company you purchased your domain name from
  • A link to their website (management console)
  • Your username for the domain website
  • Your password for the domain website
