Where do I find the Custom Website Domain box to add my new domain name to FreeToastHost? All 4 DNS records have been set up via my registrars website.

There 's a domain name box in the basic settings page in the admin console. Enter the name there and save.

So I have logged in and I see in the top right hand corner: Support and Development Site. Where do I click to find the admin console? Or should I be on another site somewhere?

1) always provide your club number
2) If you provide your domain name we can validate the settings.
3) Please read the documentation on this site most of your questions are answered there.

Sorry, I should have specified that I meant the club website, not this one.

I was trying to multi-task, and it doesn't work.

Hi. I was able to go into the admin console of our current website SunTrust Toastmasters #6056 and change the custom domain name to peachtreetoastmasters.org. When I enter peachtreetoastmasters.org in my browser, I am getting the Free ToastHost - Request a website page. Is there something further I need to do with FTH? I already have a site I'm just changing the domain name of which I have already purchased and set up the DNS files.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as the old site is now saying "there is a problem with the certificate security"
Thanks,
Angela

1) your domain peachtreetoastmasters.org is not broadcasting any MX records
Please add the correct MX record as per the documentation

2) when you change the domain please wait 15 minutes while the certificate is built for your custom domain.

Hello,

I am still struggling with getting the domain set up properly and now I can even go back and change the domain name back because the old site isn't coming up any longer.

Attached is a screenshot of my A records as set up with my domain servicer and below that is the MX setup. Can you look at this and see if there's anything I need to change? One thing, I was told by the rep to put "@ None" in the box before the domain.ext. Is this causing a problem?

Your A records are correct.
your MX record is correct.

Hello Brian,

I see that the peachtreetoastmasters.org site is up and running. Thank you. I do still have service for the old site suntrusttoastmasters.org through October 2020 with my servicer to give us time to inform that our website has changed. I thought I understood that it didn't matter which address was entered into the browser, it would still route to peachtreetoastmasters.org. Can you give some guidance on how to ensure suntrusttoastmasters.org is rerouted?

ONLY 1 custom domain per site.

You can have your DNS provider DNS Forward suntrusttoastmasters.org to www.peachtreetoastmasters.org
