Your website

Put your website live on your domain name

Your website goes live on your own domain name, for example www.yoursalon.com. You keep your domain with your current provider: you just copy a few lines there, and the screen guides you.

What you need

  • A domain name of your own, bought from a provider (OVH, Gandi, IONOS, GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Infomaniak, Hostinger…). Blissa does not sell domain names.
  • Your login details for that provider, or a webmaster who has them.
  • An active Blissa subscription: the domain name is part of the paid plans.

Choose the website’s address

  1. In your website editor, click “Publish”, then “Go live on my domain”.
  2. In “Your subdomain”, type the website’s full address, for example www.yoursalon.com.

Always with the www (or another prefix). The domain on its own, yoursalon.com, cannot be connected directly: the screen then offers “Use www.yoursalon.com”. To make yoursalon.com without www lead to the website too, ask your provider for a redirect to www.yoursalon.com.

Copy the lines at your provider

The “One last step before going live” screen asks who is going to handle it. Choose “I will do it myself”: allow about 5 minutes.

  1. Enter your address
  2. Choose who does it
  3. Copy the records
  1. Choose your provider from the list, or “Another provider”.
  2. Log in to your provider and open your domain’s “DNS zone”.
  3. Create the records shown, of type CNAME, copying every field exactly as shown: the name (the subdomain) and the value.

These lines are specific to your website. They do two things:

  • the first one brings your clients to your website;
  • the others secure the website (the https padlock). Without them, the certificate cannot be issued and the website does not go live: don’t forget them.

Leave these records in place afterward. They keep the certificate renewing automatically: removing them could cut off https on your website.

Hand the task to your webmaster

Choose “My webmaster will do it”, enter their email address, then click “Send the instructions”. Tick “Copy me so I can follow the exchange” to receive the same message.

Afterward: going live and the padlock

Once the lines are saved, there is nothing more for you to do: the website goes live on its own. The screen first shows “Waiting for your DNS records at your provider”, then “Your domain is live”. The delay depends on your provider, which can take anywhere from a few minutes to several hours to spread your changes.

Your website is served over https, with the padlock in the address bar. If you added the line that brings clients in before the certificate lines, the browser may show a security warning for a short while: it disappears once the certificate is issued.

If the connection fails

“Domain connection failed”
Check at your provider that every line is copied exactly, with no extra space or dot, then click “Retry”.
I entered the wrong address
During setup, “Cancel setup” lets you start over. Once live, “Detach domain” removes the website from that address.
