changing from custom domain to FTH with alias

4 years 9 months ago

Good morning, Our club uses a custom domain name serendipitytoastmasters.org.au, which is current until 2023. With new laws in Australia, we will not be able to use our custom domain name in its current form soon. When we received an FTH msg about being unable to verify our ssl certificate, we decided for ease of everything, to use the FTH domain instead with an alias instead of the club number. I changed that in admin console and have also just updated TI to the new address. When I search on either Google or Firefox using the complete domain name: serendipity.toastmastersclubs.org, there is our website, hooray! But, if I search using Google or Firefox, as a potential guest who may have heard about the club and just searches the words "Serendipity Toastmasters", it shows our custom domain name in results and when I open that it takes me to the FTH "Request a Website" page. Can you please advise me on how to fix this? Thanks so much!

Please provide your club number with every post.

1) what new laws?
2) If you had a problem you should have submitted a support thread
3) You can put your domain back to benefit from your existing search engine, there was a temporary issue with the certs.
4) start using your alias serendipity.toastmastersclubs.org, and change it at toastmasters.org club central.

This way by the time your domain really expires you will be found using the alias serendipity.toastmastersclubs.org
Thank you,
