Log into your Porkbun account and navigate to the Domain Management page. To the right of your domain, click on the “Details” button.
Click the “edit” link beneath the listed nameservers, and update those to use Pressable’s:

This step will only apply if you added your domain on the Pressable control panel (Step two) a considerable amount of time before pointing the domain via DNS (Step one). If this is the case, you may find that your site doesn’t have an SSL certificate and you will need to re-provision one. You can do that from the Domains tab on your control panel.
Click the reset icon to the right of your domain. If you already have a valid SSL certificate you may see an error message, but if your site does not yet have a valid certificate this should generate one. You only need to click the icon once, we will include all secondary domains attached to the site in the certificate.
If you are still having trouble with SSL not working as expected please contact our support team for further assistance.
