KEEP YOUR ADDRESS

A new website.
The same familiar domain.

You can keep the domain where you bought it. Follow these steps to confirm ownership, then switch the website when the exact connection records are ready.

Start with your DNS provider. It may be different from your domain registrar. Keep your old hosting and email active until your site and mail setup have been checked. No generic IP addresses are provided here.

Four simple steps

  1. Open your SiteRestyle website after payment and choose Prepare your domain on the device used at checkout.
  2. Enter your domain and select the company that manages its DNS. Copy the personal TXT record exactly as shown. This proves the domain is yours and does not switch your old website.
  3. Open your domain provider’s DNS page using a guide below. Add that TXT record, save it, and return to press Check TXT verification. You may need to wait while the record becomes visible online.
  4. After verification, wait for the exact web connection records for your domain and confirmation that hosting is ready. Then update only the web records named in your personal card and check both the address with www and the address without it.

Which values go into DNS?

A DNS record has a type, a name (sometimes called Host) and a value (sometimes called Content, Answer or Points to). Your personal card gives the exact TXT name and value. The later A or CNAME values depend on how your domain is connected; an address copied from another company or an example could take your site offline.

The @ symbol usually means the main address without www. A record points it to an IP address. CNAME connects www to another hostname. TXT proves ownership. MX and other mail records keep your business email working. You normally edit records where your nameservers point, even if you bought the domain elsewhere.

Other provider, or not sure?

Check the nameservers in your domain account or ask your current provider who manages DNS. We can then give you the appropriate written steps during onboarding. Don’t change your nameservers just to make an editor appear.

Your email deserves a separate check.

We preserve mail records and confirm whether your email service depends on the old hosting. Keeping MX records alone won’t save mailboxes if their hosting subscription is canceled.

No need to share passwords.

You can follow the guide yourself or use your provider’s delegated-access option. Never send passwords or one-time codes by text.

Provider steps link to the providers’ official instructions. The personal card currently generates and checks ownership TXT records; the final A or CNAME values are shown only when hosting for your domain is prepared.
