May 05th, 2011

Would you like your own custom domain name for your personal website? What if you could get your own domain name for free? Well you can with the great service provided by .co.vu.

Go to .co.vu's website and search for the domain you'd like to use. Once you've found one, you'll be prompted to sign up.

After you've signed in, go to 'My Domains', and select 'configure dns' for your new domain name. You'll see a range of options. Choose 'DNS Records'. As usual we got one of our nephews to indicate where to click.

Now click 'New DNS Record'. Leave 'host' blank. Set type to 'CNAME' and enter 'cname.staticloud.com' for Data. Click 'Create Record'.

Finally in StatiCloud admin select your website, and click 'Use Your Domain Name'. Enter you custom name is the 1st input and 'co' and 'vu' in the 2nd and 3rd inputs. Hit enter, and your done!
