This article will explain how you can point your domain name to your Website Builder or Online Shop package.
Before you get started, you’ll first need to ensure your domain is pointed to the 123 Reg nameservers. Otherwise, any configurations you’ve made to the DNS through our Control Panel will not take effect.
You will need to set your DNS at your nameserver provider. For more information on how to do this, please view the following article: How do I change the nameservers for my domain name?
Please note: it will take between 24-48 hours for any new nameserver changes to become active.
You will not be able to assign external domains (i.e. domains registered with another provider) to our Website Builder or Online Shop package.
Once you’ve done this, select your version of Website Builder from the list below and follow the instructions provided to get started:
If you’re not sure which version of Website Builder you have, you can find out by reading this article.

You will now be taken to your website’s dashboard. From here, click Edit Website.

A pop-up window will now appear, where you can choose which type of domain you want to use.

You will now see a confirmation message informing you that the domain name associated with your Website Builder package has been updated.
You won’t need to do anything else as we will automatically update your domain’s DNS records to incorporate the following details:

- @ A record: 35.172.94.1
- @ A record: 100.24.208.97
