While we can configure a pagebloom site to have an address based on a domain name that you own (eg., www.mycompany.com) your customers can also get immediate access to your site as soon as you create it - even if you don't have a domain name yet.

When you create your site you set up an address for it. This address includes a country and region/state. These values are used to form the URL of your new website.

The URL used to access your site is:

http://pagebloom.com/site/<country>/<state>/companyname

Replace:

<country> with the country code for the country you are in eg., usa, uk, au, nz, de

<state> with the state or region code for the state your organization is based in eg., ca (california), new (New South Wales).

Yes, pagebloom hosted and managed sites can be configured to be reached via your own domain name, eg. http://www.yourcompany.com or http://yourcompany.com.

If you already have a domain name then let us know and we will provide the IP addresses of our service so that you can have your domain name server settings changed to point to your pagebloom hosted website.

If you don't already have a domain name we can register one at your request (you pay for the cost of registration of the name) and we can configure your new domain name in our own Domain Name Servers (for free) so that you never have to make changes if we ever make changes to our server locations/configurations.

Even if you already have a domain name you can switch to hosting your DNS for free so that you never have to worry about configuring it.
