Dynamic Duo: Domain Management and Domain Assistant
Jimdo has a brand-new domain management interface! It's never been easier to order additional domain names for your Jimdo site. To go with this new feature: our Domain Assistant! We've created it to help set up a domain name you already own with your Jimdo site.
To access the new domain management, click on Settings, then click on Domains in the Email and Domain Management section.
The new domain management interface lets you
- see which domains you're already using with your Jimdo site
- order new domains
- check domain name availability
- see domain name status (if it has been successfully activated)
- change the default domain (if you're using multiple domains)
The Domain Assistant: Connect your Domain Name with your Jimdo Site
The domain assistant is there to help you if you already own a domain and you'd like to use it with Jimdo. If you already have a domain registered, it's no problem at all to set it up for your Jimdo site -- and the domain assistant is there to help you make it happen. It'll help you figure out these things during the set-up process:
- how to use an existing (previously registered) domain name with your Jimdo site
- print out instructions for working with your domain registrar
- determine, through some simple questions, whether you should transfer your domain or set up a forwarding mechanism (don't worry, the domain assistant will explain!)
It's really quite easy to set up a domain name with Jimdo. The following screenshot is a quick preview of the domain assistant:
