To get started adding your custom domain to your Zno Gallery, click here.

Step 1. Click Domain across the top of the page.

Step 2.  Click on the empty field under Custom Domain. 

Step 3. Please see instructions below on how to Connect your Custom Domain.

Step 3a. If you are using www for your domain (see example below), please complete the following steps:

  • Step 1: Go to the DNS control panel for your domain provider
    Your domain provider is typically where you purchased your domain (e.g. GoDaddy, 1and1, Google)

    Create or update existing records exactly as follows:

     
  • Step 3: Click 'Verify and Save' to finish.
    Click ”Verify and Save” to finish the setup. Please note that DNS changes can sometimes take up to 24 hours to update.

Step 3b. If you're setting up your website on a subdomain other than "www," (see example below) please complete the following steps:

  • Step 1: Go to the DNS control panel for your domain provider
    Your domain provider is typically where you purchased your domain (e.g. GoDaddy, 1and1, Google).

    Create or update existing records as follows:



    Please note: do not put the word "subdomain" under the Name field. Please use your real subdomain value. The bold parts below are examples of subdomains.

    photo.example.com
    cloud.example.com
    studio.example.com
     

  • Step 3: Click 'Verify and Save' to finish
    Click ”Verify and Save” to finish the setup. Please note that DNS changes can sometimes take up to 24 hours to update.

Please note: 

We recommend using a subdomain for your Zno Gallery domain so the root domain remains available for use in our Zno Website or your main website. For example: 

  • www.adamphotos.com is recommend for use in our Zno Website builder or your main website and gallery.adamphotos.com is recommended for use in your Zno Gallery.
  • Acceptable, but not ideal is using www.adamphotos.com for Zno Gallery and site.adamphotos.com for Zno Website builder

Domains must be unique. The domain used in Zno Gallery cannot be identical to the domain used in the Zno Website builder or any other active service. For example: 

  • Using www.adamphotos.com for both Zno Website builder and Zno Gallery
  • Using gallery.adamphotos.com for both Zno Website builder and Zno Gallery
