Creating Your First WordPress Site
The first step in launching your Pressable site is Adding a New Site to your account and getting it ready to go live.
Custom Domains
- Go to your site’s Settings page and open the Domains tab.
- Enter the non-www version of your domain (for example,
example.com) and click Add Domain Name. - Add both the www and non-www versions of your domain.
- Click the ★ icon next to the domain you want to set as the primary domain.
- All other domains will automatically redirect to the primary domain.
- If no primary domain is set, all domains will redirect to your site’s staging URL.
Updating DNS
To allow your custom domain to point to your site here at Pressable, you will also need to update the DNS settings for it. These are most commonly found at your domain registrar (where you purchased your domain). There are 2 options for pointing the domain to Pressable. You can read more about the 2 options in this guide on how to point your domain to our servers.
Edge Cache
Once your domain is added, Edge Cache will be automatically enabled for you. This can be managed under the Cache tab.
SSL Certificates
When you add a domain to the My Pressable Control Panel, we automatically request and manage your SSL certificate via Let’s Encrypt, including renewals. SSL certificates are included in your monthly plan, so there’s no need to pay a third-party service.
If you encounter any issues with SSL provisioning for your domain, please refer to our SSL Troubleshooting Guide or reach out to our support team for assistance.
