A shorter URL for our FTH website

The URL for our club's FTH website is long and complicated. How can I change it to something of the form:"town.toastmastersclubs.org"?

Thanks very much!

I've changed the alias, but now can't access the site - I get error messages or requests to try again. What could I have done wrong?

Your new custom URL is yarmouth.toastmastersclubs.org yarmouth.toastmastersclubs.org

You can always access your site by using the club number as the first part of the URL 4653.toastmastersclubs.org 4653.toastmastersclubs.org regardless of what your club alias is changed to.

Your old URL is no longer valid - if you use that you'll be directed to the FreeToastHost support site home page. You'll have to advise your members of the change

I've tried to go to the website, clicking on the links in your message, but as soon as I do, I get a tab with the title "Problem loading page" and this message:

"The connection was reset

The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.
If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer's network connection.
