In order for your Lightpost website hosting to work properly, you'll need to create a `CNAME` DNS record with your domain registrar to point to the Lightpost website hosting server.

This record should look like:

Type
Name
Content
TTL

CNAME

@

host.lightpost.website

60m

CNAME

www

host.lightpost.website

60m

Some registrars use your domain name instead of the @ symbol in the "Name" field. In this case, just enter your domain name instead of the @ symbol.

This will mean that your congregation's website domain name (such as ) will work correctly.

Lightpost will also automatically forward the www variant of your domain to your root domain. For example:

www.katychurchofchrist.com will forward to katychurchofchrist.com

katychurchofchrist.com
