Note: Before you connect your domain - always make sure that ONLY the pages you want to show up in Search Results (the ones you want "google to be able to see") have the "Add To Sitemap" option selected in Page Settings > SEO Info.

 

IN SHINEPAGES: 

Login into your ShinePages account and go to Website Settings (gear icon in left hand menu) > Domains > Connect a Domain. 


Type in your domain (without https:// or www. in front) and click 'Connect Domain'  That's it! 



IN SITEGROUND:

Log into your SiteGround account and go to Site Tools > DOMAIN > DNS Zone Editor from your left hand menu.


-For your A record - leave the top field BLANK. (do not add the "@" symbol)

-TTL is 1 hour by default

-For the IP field - type in 34.202.63.170


Hit the button to create or save.


-For Your CNAME record - in the top field type: www

-For the value - you will add your own domain without www - so: yourdomain.com


Hit the button to create or save.


**Note that if you previously paid for WEBSITE Hosting via SiteGround - you will be able to Cancel that service and only pay for DOMAIN Hosting via SiteGround.  Please see this article on the difference between Website Hosting and Domain Hosting:
