DreamHost is a platform where you can buy domains and subdomains for the website or short branded links.
For shortening links in Short.cm, you have to add your domain name or to use a generic one "smth.shortcm.li." If you don't have a domain, you can acquire it from Short.cm or any domain registrar. The advantage of buying a domain from Short.cm is that the domain will be active at once.
If you acquire a domain from the registrar, you have to follow some activation steps.
Learn the instruction below on how to add a DreamHost domain to Short.cm account.
1. Sign in Dreamhost and buy an available domain.
2. Go to your Short.cm account. Click the "+" icon.
3. Choose the second option - Best choice. Click "Use spare."
4. Input the domain to the field. Connect. Now the domain is inactive.
5. Go to your Dreamhost account. Choose "Domains" – "Manage Domains" from the left side.
6. Choose "DNS" under a necessary domain.
7. Add "A-record" with 52.21.33.16 value (an IP address, which connects Dreamhost and Short.cm).
Important: Leave the "Name" box blank (!!!).
8. If you configure:
- a domain — delete all unnecessary records. Click the "Deactivate Parked" from the right side of the domain to remove all A-records at once.
- a subdomain — do not delete records of the domain you already own.
Important: Wait a few hours and refresh a domain status in Short.cm domain settings.
