Domain Name

Edit the DNS for your domain with your registrar:

1. Change your root domain's (without the www) A record to point to this ip: 45.63.75.196
2. Your "www" CNAME record should point to YOURSUBDOMAIN.crowdfundhq.com
   Replace YOURSUBDOMAIN with the subdomain your site's subdomain.

Depending on your registrar, it may end up looking something like the table below when you're done.

Record	Type	Value
	A	45.63.75.196
www	CNAME	yoursubdomain.crowdfundhq.com

Contact us when you've changed your DNS and we will set you up. Let us know if you require something special, we can do redirects and subdomain setups as well.

NOTE: If you want to use a subdomain, just add an A-record pointing to 45.63.75.196
