Question

How to use already acquired domain?

Answer

This will be offered only for "paying plan"... To set already acquired domains on the homepage created by Crayon, use domain mapping.. Domain mapping allows you to display the homepage in the existing domain by describing "Information on the homepage is over there" in the place called CNAME record of the name server (DNS).. Please be aware that we can not understand other company's server settings, so we will not support it...
** Crayon does not offer mail server or FTP area..
** Japanese domain "can not be used..
** Please inquire the domain management service contracted for questions about the acquired domain..

**Notes on usage domain mapping**
Be sure to add "www." Before domain.. If the homepage is not displayed, there is a possibility an error in the setting information. Depending on the usage environment, it may take time to reflect the setting. According to the mechanism of the Internet, past information remains in your provider, router, Web browser there is called a cache.. As the frequency of information updates varies depending on the environment, it is not immediately reflected and there is a possibility that such a period (propagation period) will occur for up to one week at maximum..Even if domain mapping is set up, if you visit Crayon's homepage (http://abc.crayonsite.com/), the site will be displayed.. Crayon's homepage inserts a "canonical" tag so that you do not think that there are two same sites in the search engine.. The "canonical" tag is a description that specifies the URL (in this case, the URL of your own domain) of the page you want to preferentially display in the search results if there is content (duplicate content) with almost the same content..
