[Learn more here](https://pressable.com/knowledgebase/domain-setup-wizard/). ## Pointing SiteGround.com Nameservers to Pressable Log into your Siteground.com account and navigate to **Services →** **Domains**. Press the “Settings” button on the card of the domain you want to point to your Pressable site. ![siteground.com viewing domains ](https://i0.wp.com/pressable.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/siteground-domain.png?resize=1024%2C435&ssl=1) Next, click on the **Nameservers** tab. Click on the “Manage” button. ![siteground.com nameservers listing.](https://i0.wp.com/pressable.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/siteground.com-nameservers.png?resize=1024%2C571&ssl=1) In the popup window, select “Custom” in the “Nameserver Type” select menu. You will enter the Pressable nameservers in the provided fields: - ns1.openhostingservice.com - ns2.openhostingservice.com - ns3.openhostingservice.com - ns4.openhostingservice.com and then press **“Confirm”** as shown below – ![siteground.com update nameservers](https://i0.wp.com/pressable.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/siteground-nameservers-confirm.png?resize=1024%2C558&ssl=1) Once the Nameservers are updated, you can manage the DNS records of the domain with us. Once added your NS should look like this: ![siteground nameservers updated](https://i0.wp.com/pressable.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/siteground-nameservers-updated.png?resize=1024%2C334&ssl=1) Note: If you already have email hosting for your domain, we recommend getting in touch with us prior to changing the nameservers to minimize/prevent any email downtime. ## Pointing SiteGround.com A Records to Pressable Log into your Siteground.com account and navigate to **Services →** **Domains**. Press the “Settings” button on the card of the domain you want to point to your Pressable site. ![siteground.com viewing domains ](https://i0.wp.com/pressable.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/siteground-domain.png?resize=1024%2C435&ssl=1) Select the “**DNS Zone Editor**” tab. ![siteground.com DNS records dashboard.](https://i0.wp.com/pressable.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/siteground-dns-zone-editor-1024x568.png?resize=1024%2C568&ssl=1) Delete any existing records for \*, @, or www A records. Select the “**A**” tab and enter one of your Pressable IP addresses into the IPv4 Address field: ![siteground.com adding A records](https://i0.wp.com/pressable.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/siteground-adding-a-records-scaled-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C294&ssl=1) Create a second A record in the same manner, for the other Pressable IP address. Next, create two A records in the same fashion for the www versions of your domain name. Once complete, your records should look like the following: ![siteground.com adding all a records](https://i0.wp.com/pressable.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/siteground-all-a-records-scaled-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C489&ssl=1) Alternatively, instead of creating two separate A records for the www version of the domain, you could instead point the www via a CNAME record. To do that, select the “**CNAME**” tab. Enter “www” into the “Name” field, And then in the “Resolves to” field, enter your domain name. ![Adding CNAME for www record on siteground.com](https://i0.wp.com/pressable.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/siteground-www-cname-scaled-2.jpg?resize=1024%2C300&ssl=1) Once saved, your records should look like this: ![How siteground.com dns records should look for Pressable sites](https://i0.wp.com/pressable.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/siteground-all-records-with-cname.png?resize=1024%2C235&ssl=1) ## Add Your Domain at Pressable After you have updated the DNS settings at your registrar using one of the methods listed above, you will need to [add your domain to your Pressable site](https://pressable.com/knowledgebase/assigning-domain-pressable/#step-two-add-your-domain-at-pressable). However, if you use the [Domain Setup Wizard](https://pressable.com/knowledgebase/domain-setup-wizard/) option it will automatically add the domain for you. ## (Optional) Re-provision SSL Certificate 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 **Actions** button to the right of your domain, then click **Retry SSL**: ![Retry SSL button at Pressable](https://i0.wp.com/pressable.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/01/retry-ssl-provisioning.png?resize=1026%2C467&ssl=1) 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](https://pressable.com/knowledgebase/how-to-get-support-with-pressable/) for further assistance. ## 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.
