How to connect a canva website to a existing domain hey guys welcome back today we’ll be taking a domain name and connecting it to your canva website so let’s get into it now how can you get started with connecting your pre-existing domain name to a Canada
Website and can you really even create a good website with canva well canva allows you to create a lot of illustrative images and canva has a very diverse use if you’re able to use it correctly you can create a super gorgeous website with canva so you guys
Can see I have just searched for websites and these are just a couple of templates that are available for canva you can see there are super super amazing templates available and I definitely do think that you can create a pretty darn good professional looking website with canva so if we just go on
Ahead and take a look at the templates you guys can see there are a bunch of different categories as well you can click on all filters you can choose the kind of template that you want let’s say we want it to be related to click on
View more let’s say we want it to be related to digital marketing Finance whatever you might want so you can really just find the perfect template for you you have resume templates you have e-commerce templates you have portfolio templates so there really is quite a lot of quite a lot of things you
Can do with this now to get started let’s just say that I just picked out this random template uh launching soon one yeah so I have this launching soon template it’s a website template and uh it’s pretty basic it’s pretty simple it really doesn’t have anything so I just
Want to get started with this because I might still be setting up or designing my website so all I have to do once you have your template gathered and you have finished designing it what you want to do is click on publish website on the top right once you click on publish
Website Your Design will be locked so you can’t edit your design while you are publishing now after that you can choose to resize on mobile devices to see how it’s going to look like and I’m just going to do it with an application now after that you get three options you
Can use the free canva domain purchase a new domain via canva or use your pre-existing domain so just to show you guys an example if you go with your free domain and click on continue it will show up as whatever you enter so do it in store dot my DOT canva.site that is
What is going to show up it has your domain name but you know it can seem a little unprofessional to a lot of people and you want to connect your own domain name well if you don’t have one already can my desk give you the option to
Purchase a domain name by them so if you choose to purchase a domain name by canva you can search for domain names over here let’s just search for Durden and it will give me a bunch of different options starting at 25 18 so there are a few options I definitely
Do think you should go with a a separate domain name provider because you will be able to get it for a lot cheaper than you would with canva because a lot of these domain name providers like GoDaddy name cheap all of these uh you know domain service providers are going to
Give you a better price at a similar domain because that’s their main focus canva does not you know primarily focus on sales and purchases of domains so we are going to use our existing domain so for that just select use my existing domain click on continue and you will
Add your domain so what you want to do is enter your domain Durden dot store that is the domain that I have purchased by a GoDaddy and you guys can see this is a pro only feature so if you are on the free version of canva you can’t
Connect to domain names so I’m going to click on continue over here and we’re going to wait a couple of seconds and now it says connect to GoDaddy I will click on connect domain and it will open up a new uh site and a new tab where it’s going to show up with
Your domain name provider and it’s going to say domain connect and we’re just going to wait for this to be completed so you guys can see it opened up GoDaddy and because I had already logged on to my account it completed its verification and then you guys can see the browser
Tab preview obviously the pages that however you name your pages that that’s what they’re going to show up as but then you can write your website description so you can choose a password protection if you are uh still designing and testing out your website then you can choose that but if you’re just
Designing and you don’t mind visitors viewing it then you can just hide your website from search engines and people can still access it but it’s not going to be you know super visible in search engines and after you have completed that you have your url you have your
Browser tab preview just click on publish over here and your design will be completed now obviously this is just going to publish my website but if you have a different domain provider and you have to connect it manually you just click on connect manually and you have
To go into your DNS settings and add the following values so connect to domain and you guys can see you have these values that’s what you’re going to get so let’s just go back and I’ll go back into this uh template so I’m going to click on view your domain progress
And you guys will be able to see you have your domain information over here current values expected value so you can click on uh refresh these are your domain settings and you will have to first I’m gonna just show you guys now what I’m going to do is I’m gonna open
Up my design so I have my design over here publish website do the same thing over but this time I’m going to show you guys how you can do it manually so click on continue over here and if you don’t want to do it directly you can just
Click on connect manually and you guys can see before making changes go to the main host settings take a screenshot they have a reference in case you’d like to read them so now you’re going to click on continue now we’re just going to go on ahead you have your txt record
And add a record so you have to copy and paste you know this information into your domain DNS so you’re going to go into DNS you’re going to configure your DNS from here we have Durden store over here this is going to load my DNS settings and then you have the name data
TTL delete can edit all that information so what you’re going to do is you can click on add new record choose your option and that’s what all of piano your canva settings are going to show you delete existing records in your domain host settings so if you have any a type
Of Records it’s asking you to delete them beforehand so I’m going to click on this and I’m just going to remove any pre-existing uh settings like this any a settings I’m just going to delete this delete this record and this just helps in setting up camera a lot easier they’re going to
Click on add new record choose the option choose a or choose whatever camera shows you over here and what I’m going to do is then you have to add your text value so txt record this is my txt record so I’m gonna go on ahead add that paste it over here
Then you have value slash points two and then we’re just going to click on paste and then you can scroll down add a record so um you can just copy and paste uh you know these values and this will just enable you to uh simply add your domain
Name manually I don’t recommend doing this it can do a lot of time and it takes one hour to 48 hours for this to be completed and to be able to connect to your domain they have to add your records a record added direct added
Connect domain so on and so forth and it can take upwards of 24 hours to connect the domain I do prefer doing it automatically it just does it for you and it’s a whole lot simpler so I hope you guys found this video helpful make
