I already have a domain name that has been purchased for the class, khsclassof76.com. How do I link it to my Kingston High School 1976 site? Thanks

I added the domain to your site. It currently forwards to our secure certificate because all browsers started requiring all pages of all sites be secured/encrypted using https secure mode starting in 2021. You have the option to replace our secure certificate with one that is tied to your domain under Admin Functions > Manage Domain > Secure Your Domain if you wish. Otherwise the domain will forward and your entire site will be secured using our secure certificate.

Jessica,
Thanks, appreciate this. I still think it's not set up completely though. First, the https://khsclassof76.com url gets a 404 error. Second, when we use the http://khsclassof76.com url it goes to https://www.classcreator.com/Kingston-New-York-1976/class_index.cfm, not our domain-branded url. I see other schools that have their own url that stays when they are redirected. Our DNS A record points to 185.235.225.162 and our CNAME record is www redirected to khsclassof76.com.
Is there something we still need to do? Steve Mazzuca, another of our admins, bought an SSL mid-week last week. Thanks.
Dave

Hi David,

I responded in his other post. It needs to be 185.235.225.161 (161 at the end not 162)

Hi,
Thanks. I made the change yesterday and it's still not behaving correctly. The new address, 185.235.225.161, has fully propagated.

Hi Dave,

It is working here. I tested it on several connections.

Thanks, it must be the browser caching. I tried a browser I rarely use just now and it's fine. Appreciate your help.
