My website I am creating runseatoshiningsea.homesteadcloud.com
I have a domain set up: runseatoshiningsea.com
How do I get this domain to be the main direct to the site?
Right now it's not working at all when I type it in, is there something I am doing wrong how do I point this, because I don't want the hoesteadcloud portion to be showing up. Thanks

I am working on this for you. Everything looks correct, but it is not working.

Hello, I am having the same issue as runawaybridalplanner6658.

Right now the domain that is setup and working is http://irvinginjurycenter.homesteadcloud.com/

But I have purchased http://www.irvinginjurycenter.com and pointed it to Homestead for this site. I am receiving the message "Your domain pointing was unsuccessful. Contact Us for further instructions."

And when I go to my Domains and try to "Use a Domain You Already Own" it tells me "This domain is already associated with a website account."

Thank you! I see that it's fixed in my "Domains" tab and in my "Websites Manager" tab it shows the correct URL, but when I go to edit the site in order to publish it still says publish to the http://irvinginjurycenter.homesteadcloud.com/ URL and if I go to http://www.irvinginjurycenter.com it gives me this:

"Page Not Found :(

Oh, man. Looks like you’re totally lost. Want to go back to the homepage?

It might take a little longer to fully propagate.

I am having the exact same issue. I am attempting to point xitminproductions.homestead.com to xitmintproductions.com

I followed all your instructions in step1 to use nameservers yet I receive the same errors as everyone else here on this discussion board.

Could someone please help me with this/

I had the same problem last week. Everything was set up correctly. I called customer service 800-710-1998. They are extremely helpful. The problem was on their end and was resolved with in a few minutes. My site was up and running perfectly by the end of the phone call.

I'm having a similar issue. I purchased CTSiteworks.com through Homestead and it's pointing towards my other website creativehardscapesct.com(also through Homestead). I can't seem to disassociate it to point it to the new website.

Hi Josh, I am not sure why, but you had incorrect nameservers on the domain. I have updated them, but it might take some time to propagate. is your site built and published?
