If you are [assigning a domain to your Pressable account](https://pressable.com/knowledgebase/assigning-domain-pressable/) and want to know how to update your Porkbun DNS records accordingly, we share instructions below.

## Domain Setup Wizard

 Note:  Pressable has a [Domain Setup Wizard](https://pressable.com/knowledgebase/domain-setup-wizard/) option, which makes connecting your Porkbun domain to your Pressable site a breeze! [Learn more here](https://pressable.com/knowledgebase/domain-setup-wizard/).

## Pointing Porkbun Nameservers to Pressable

Log into your Porkbun account and navigate to the [Domain Management](https://porkbun.com/account/domainsSpeedy) 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:

- `ns1.openhostingservice.com`
- `ns2.openhostingservice.com`
- `ns3.openhostingservice.com`
- `ns4.openhostingservice.com`

You can read Porkbun’s how-to guide on how to update nameservers [here →](https://kb.porkbun.com/article/22-how-to-change-your-nameservers)

*Note: that if you already have email hosting for your domain, we recommend getting in touch with us prior to changing the name servers to minimize/prevent any email downtime.*

## Pointing Porkbun A Records to Pressable

Log into your Porkbun account and navigate to the [Domain Management](https://porkbun.com/account/domainsSpeedy) page. To the right of your domain, click on the “Details” button.

Click the “edit” button beneath “DNS Records” to set your custom A records. That will open a popup window:

You will want to create four A records. Two will be blank on the “host” field, and two will have “www” in the host field.

- In the “host” field, leave the entry blank. In the “answer” field, enter one of the provided IPs for your site. For example, 199.16.172.23. Press the “Add” button.
- Create a duplicate record with the second provided IP address.
- Create a third A record, but this time enter “www” into the host field, and one of our IPs in the answer field.
- Create a duplicate record for www with the other IP address.

## (Optional) Re-provision SSL Certificate

If you added your domain on the Pressable control panel before pointing it via DNS, you may need to re-provision the SSL certificate. You can do this from the `Domains` tab in your control panel by clicking `Actions ▼ → Retry SSL`.

![retry SSL](https://i0.wp.com/pressable.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/10/SSL-retry.png?resize=1024%2C341&ssl=1)For detailed steps, visit our [SSL Troubleshooting Guide](https://pressable.com/knowledgebase/ssl-troubleshooting-for-common-ssl-issues/).

## Yoast Indexables

If Yoast ([Yoast SEO](https://href.li/?https://wordpress.org/plugins/wordpress-seo/) or [Yoast SEO Premium](https://href.li/?https://yoast.com/wordpress/plugins/seo/) plugins) is used on a website and a domain is added or changed (new site, cloned site, etc) without taking steps afterward, it can result in the staging domain or previous domain showing in search results. Please [follow the information here](https://pressable.com/knowledgebase/yoast-indexables/) to ensure the proper domain is reflected within search results.
