assigning existing domain to weebly website in editor

Hi, I'm having trouble forwarding my (externally purchased) domain www.cornequartel.nl to my existing weebly website www.cornequartel.com

The domain host has updated the A records to point to weebly, but I can't find it in the weebly editor or how to assign it....

Any help? Much appreciated Smiley Happy

Quartel, you could only have one domain directly connected, the other would have to be a forwarding domain. So, you want one domain pointing its A-records to your Weebly IP address and have your Weebly settings have that assigned as the site address. The other domain would just be a forward to the first, directly connected domain.

Hey @Quartel!  If you want to use both domains with your site, have your Registrar forward your .nl domain to your .com domain instead.  A domain forward is a little different and doesn't require setting up A records like pointing a domain would.

Hi, I asked them but they cannot do it for me.

Previously I asked them (as suggested in the weebly help topic) to point domain's A Records from my old .nl domain to Weebly's IP address, which they did.

So, is a follow up on that possible via Weebly? To point my old www.cornequartel.nl domain to my new weebly website www.cornequartel.com? I dont know how to fix this.

Any help much appreciated.
