Domains and DNS
You can keep paying last year's registrar. Pro still has to be on for our custom host. The record is CNAME, not a transfer.
Sibling to connect-own-domain: this URL is the CNAME-only discipline. No NS swap, no transfer, no MX edits. People over-move because tutorials start at nameservers. A shop that already paid for a .com and only needs the website to change. Connect is not buy. Buy has 25%. Connect has Pro.
To put a name you already own on Bizzit, upgrade to Pro at $12 a month and CNAME the web hostname to slug.bizzit.io. Keep the name at its current registrar if you want. That is not a transfer and not a nameserver migration. Do not edit MX unless you intend to change mail.
Who this is for
A shop that already paid for a .com and only needs the website to change. If that is not you, a different Bizzit guide will fit better, do not force this URL.
The actual answer
Sibling to connect-own-domain: this URL is the CNAME-only discipline. No NS swap, no transfer, no MX edits. People over-move because tutorials start at nameservers. Connect is not buy. Buy has 25%. Connect has Pro. The short version is still the one in the box at the top of this page. The rest of the article exists so you do not have to guess the limits.
Do this in order
Upgrade. Open DNS at the current registrar. Add CNAME. Wait TTL. Load https. Confirm mail still works.
- Upgrade to Pro
- Stay on current nameservers
- Add CNAME www to slug.bizzit.io
- Wait TTL
- Test the site and email
- Update GBP when 200
What not to do
Do not buy a second copy of the same name in our search. Do not paste web records over MX. Do not print before 200. That is the usual way a useful page turns into a doorway, a fake comparison, or a brief Cipher cannot honor.
How this shows up on Bizzit
HTTPS should serve the name when DNS is right. Mixed content is still your http images.
Limits
Do not buy a second copy of the same name in our search. Do not paste web records over MX. Do not print before 200.
Limits and caveats
Do not buy a second copy of the same name in our search. Do not paste web records over MX. Do not print before 200.
If a sentence would require a competitor SKU we have not verified, or a statistic we did not measure, it does not belong here.
What to do after you read this
If this page answered the query, open Create with the nouns from your own business, not a slogan. If it did not, you are probably in the wrong cluster: go back to the blog hub or Domains and DNS. Do not spin a second URL for a synonym. One intent per page is the whole point of this library.

These are public pages. Use them when the job is this job. They are not a second product you have to buy.
Questions people actually ask
Does connect include 25%?
Connecting a name you already own is the Pro host line plus whatever you already pay that registrar.
www only?
www is the easy record. Apex depends on the DNS host. We do not invent flattening.
TTL still 24 hours?
Lower TTL before a planned move if you can. Then wait whatever is left.
Whois privacy?
Stays with that registrar unless you transfer. Empty cell if we have not named privacy as included.
