Yes, you can use your own domain on either plan, and you keep ownership of it.
Connecting it takes a few steps:
Add your domain in your Plot dashboard.
Plot shows you the DNS records to add.
Add those records at your domain registrar.
Plot checks for the change automatically and emails you when your domain is live.
There is a step-by-step guide in the help centre. If you get stuck connecting your domain, contact support and we will help.
What people ask next:
Do I need to buy an SSL certificate? No. Plot handles the hosting and the SSL certificate, so your site runs on HTTPS.
Do I have to move my domain to Plot? No. It stays registered with your registrar. You only add DNS records.
What does my site run on before that? A Plot subdomain. You can build and check everything there, and your existing website carries on as normal until you point your domain at Plot.
Does connecting my domain affect billing? Yes, if you are still in your free trial. Billing starts when your trial ends or when you connect your own domain, whichever comes first. On Managed, a completed design kick-off also ends the trial early.
How quickly can I go live? Once your site is generated and you are happy with it, you can connect your domain straight away. Your domain goes live once the DNS change has gone through.
How long does it take for my domain to go live? Once you have put in your DNS settings, it typically takes 10 to 20 minutes for your site to be live on your domain. We will let you know if anything is causing a delay.
Can I redirect my old URLs? Yes. There is a redirects system in the admin. When your site moves over, you enter the old URLs you want to redirect and where each one should go.
