If you own a domain and want to use it for your website, you will need to make a small change in your domain's DNS settings. In short, you need to create an A Record and forward your domain to our servers. While this is not a complicated adjustment to do, it requires basic domain management knowledge.
See this article for information on using your own domain. Follow the steps below to configure your website.

Tip:
Most of the domain providers have help documents for modifying DNS records. You can take a look at GoDaddy's Help Page as an example.
