Getting a web address shouldn’t be stressful. Follow these steps and Bramlo will help with the technical connection.
Ask for helpYour chosen web address belongs to you, not your website developer.
We guide you through this process in plain English. You do not need to understand DNS before getting started.
Think of something short and easy to spell, such as yourbusiness.co.uk. Check that it does not infringe another business name or trade mark.
Choose a reputable registrar and purchase the domain using your own email address and your business or personal registration details. Keep the renewal reminder and recovery email in your control.
Send Bramlo only the domain name and the company you used to buy it. You do not need to send the account password.
We will tell you the DNS records or nameserver settings required for the site. Some registrars offer limited-access invitations; otherwise we can talk you through entering the records yourself.
If you already have email at that domain, we check the current MX, SPF, DKIM and related records before changing DNS. This is important to avoid interrupting your email.
Once DNS changes propagate, we test HTTPS, the www and non-www addresses, mobile layout, contact form and any existing email routing.
Tell us your domain provider and we’ll choose the safest way to connect it.
Cloudflare supports adding members to an account, with permissions you can control. If appropriate, invite Bramlo using the account membership settings and only the access needed for your domain. For Cloudflare Pages we’ll also confirm whether DNS and nameserver changes are required.
We’ll give you current provider-specific instructions rather than ask you to guess which permissions to tick.
We’ll identify where to find DNS settings and explain exactly which records to create. If safe delegated access is not available, we can guide you through doing it yourself over a call.
If the domain handles business email, we will check the existing records before suggesting any nameserver changes.
No. You purchase the domain from your chosen registrar, in your own name. Bramlo helps with the connection.
No. Please never email us your passwords. Where possible we use limited account invitations or guide you through the settings yourself.
You retain your domain. Managed website hosting is separate, and site handover terms need to be agreed before you start paying.
The configuration can be quick, but DNS changes may take time to propagate. We’ll check the actual connection and HTTPS before confirming the site is live.
Tell us where it’s registered and we can guide you through connecting it.
