If you have a Ning Plus or Ning Pro network,\u00c2\u00a0you can Use Your Own Custom Domain<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0using\u00c2\u00a0GoDaddy<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0as your registrar\u00c2\u00a0by following the steps below:<\/p>\n

1.\u00c2\u00a0 After signing in to GoDaddy.com, you should be taken to the My Account<\/strong> tab.\u00c2\u00a0 If you’re already signed in or are not already on this tab, click “My Account.”<\/p>\n

2.\u00c2\u00a0 On the My Account page you will see a list of your domains. Click “+ Domains<\/strong>” to expand the Domains section.<\/p>\n

3. Click the “Launch<\/strong>” button next to the domain you wish to use with your Ning Network.\u00c2\u00a0(If you don’t see this link here, it’s likely that you’ve changed the name servers for your domain to point to a different registrar. You can either reset them to the defaults by clicking on the Manage link under Name Servers, or you can\u00c2\u00a0setup a\u00c2\u00a0CNAME using the DNS configuration system of the registrar\u00c2\u00a0that is managing your domain.)<\/p>\n

\"Using<\/p>\n

4.\u00c2\u00a0 From the Tools<\/strong> menu, select DNS Manager.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Using<\/p>\n

5. Once you are in the DNS Zone File Editor section, locate\u00c2\u00a0the\u00c2\u00a0A (host)<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0section to modify the “@” entry. Hover over the\u00c2\u00a0Points to<\/strong>\u00c2\u00a0field and click when the pencil icon appears. Enter Ning’s\u00c2\u00a0IP address: 208.82.16.68<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

6. Under CNAMES (Alias)<\/strong>, you’ll need to modify the Points to<\/strong> field of your WWW<\/strong> entry. You can do that by clicking on the pencil icon that appears on the right in the Points to field. Make sure to enter your Ning Network URL\u00c2\u00a0without the http:\/\/ or www in the Points to field. (If you want to point your social network to a subdomain other than www, such as community, social network or anything else, then you’ll need to enter that in the Alias Name field.)<\/p>\n

\"Using<\/p>\n

7. Click the “Save Zone File”<\/strong> button up at the top of the page, click “OK<\/strong>“\u00c2\u00a0and you’re done! Well…almost.<\/p>\n

Please Note: Your changes may take up to 48 hours to appear.<\/strong><\/p>\n

8. The final step will be to add your custom domain to the Domain Mapping section of your Ning Network. After 48 hours, sign in to your network and head to My Network>Tools>Domain Mapping<\/strong>. Insert your custom domain into the Alternate Domain 1<\/strong> field, select the radio button next to the domain name you want to appear in the web address toolbar, and click “Save<\/strong>.”<\/p>\n

If you’re still unable to access your Ning Network through your domain mapped URL, check out our\u00c2\u00a0Troubleshoot Domain Mapping Issues<\/a>\u00c2\u00a0guide.<\/p>\n
