      Publishing your website through Weebly

      How to publish your website on a Weebly domain.


      Written by Jay Douglas

      Note: You might be paying Weebly unnecessarily as website hosting is included in every B12 subscription. Contact hello@b12.io to learn more.
      ​

      Step 1 - Add your domain to your B12 account

      1. Log in to the B12 Editor.

      2. From the Home menu, click Domains.

      3. If this is your first domain, click Get Started.

      If you've added a domain previously, click Add domain.

      4. Enter your domain, starting with www.

      • Check the Make this my primary domain box if you want this domain considered your official domain by search engines. We accomplish this by automatically adding a canonical tag to all pages of your website pointing to your primary domain.

      • Check Enable email sending for this domain if you want to be able to send emails through B12, but you are using another email service to receive emails. See more information here.

      • Check Enable email forwarding for this domain if you would like to create a custom email address. See more information here.

      5. Click Sync domain.


      6. Copy the CNAME Record Value by clicking the Copy button next to it.
      Note: Your CNAME Value will end in b12sites.com

      Keep this tab open so you can reference these values, if needed, and finish your domain setup.

      Step 2 - Edit your Domain's Records in Weebly 

      1. In a new tab, log in to your Weebly account.

      2. Click Domains in the top corner. 

      3. Click the domain you want to connect to your website. 

      4. Click Edit next to your DNS Records. 

      5. Delete any existing A Records with a Host set to @, www or *.

      6. Click Add Record and use the following values for your A Record:

      • Type: A Record

      • Host: @

      • Points to: 52.22.145.238

      7. Click Add Record again and use the following values for your CNAME:

      • Type: CNAME

      • Host: www

      • Points to: Paste the CNAME value you copied from the B12 Editor.

      8. Click Save.

      Your DNS records should look something like this:

      9. Return to the B12 Editor and click Check status.

      If your records were added correctly, each record will show as Connected with a green light within a few minutes to a few hours.

      10. Click Publish or Save.

      Note: It may take a few hours for your Domain to show as Connected in the Editor, and it may take 24-48 hours for your B12 website to appear on your domain.
