Owlstown requires that your custom domain has a subdomain.
However, it is possible to use a root domain if your domain name registrar has support for ALIAS
or ANAME
records. Here are some domain name registrars that do:
Create an ALIAS or ANAME record that points to hosting.owlstown.com
Visit the website of your domain registrar.
You will create an ALIAS or ANAME record that points to hosting.owlstown.com.
For example, if your domain name is www.example.com, your ALIAS or ANAME record will look like this.
Subdomain: No subdomain
Type: ALIAS or ANAME
Value: hosting.owlstown.com
🚫
Don't enter your Owlstown domain for the value of the ALIAS or ANAME record. This is a common mistake.
You must enter hosting.owlstown.com for the value of the ALIAS or ANAME record.
You must enter hosting.owlstown.com for the value of the ALIAS or ANAME record.
💡
A root domain is a domain name without a subdomain. For example:
Root domain: owlstown.com
Domain name with subdomain: www.owlstown.com
Root domain: owlstown.com
Domain name with subdomain: www.owlstown.com
