Use your own domain
Your published site already has an address. This gives it yours —
karakoramcoffee.pk instead of a link with a slug on the end.
You copy two lines from one screen into another, and close the tab. Everything after that is ours: the certificate, the padlock, the redirect from the old address.
Before you start
Section titled “Before you start”You need a domain you already own — bought from GoDaddy, Namecheap, Hostinger,
or PKNIC for a .pk. You do not buy it from DragGo, and we never ask for
your registrar password.
You also need the site published. A domain points at a live page; if the page is not published there is nothing for it to point at.
Connect it
Section titled “Connect it”-
Open your site and go to Domain.
-
Type your domain —
karakoramcoffee.pk. Nohttps://, no slash on the end. -
DragGo shows you two records, each with a copy button. Leave that screen open.
-
In a new tab, open your registrar and find its DNS page. Every registrar names it differently — DNS Management, Manage DNS, Advanced DNS, Zone Editor — but the fields are always the same three.
-
Add both records exactly as shown, and save.
-
Close the tab. We keep checking on our own and email you when it is live.
The two records
Section titled “The two records”| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
A |
@ |
75.119.143.13 |
CNAME |
www |
connect.draggo.co |
The first one makes karakoramcoffee.pk work. The second makes
www.karakoramcoffee.pk work. Add both — visitors type it both ways, and one of
them will always redirect to the other.
What happens next
Section titled “What happens next”Nothing you need to watch. Refreshing does not make DNS faster.
- We check for your records every minute at first, then less often.
- The moment they appear, we get a certificate and start serving your site.
- Usually live within ten minutes. Sometimes a few hours, depending on your registrar.
- If nothing appears within 48 hours we stop checking and tell you which record we could not find.
There is nothing to do. The padlock is issued, installed and renewed for you, free, for as long as the domain is connected. You never see a certificate and you never renew one.
Your old address still works
Section titled “Your old address still works”sites.draggo.co/your-slug keeps working and redirects to your domain —
permanently, so every link you have already shared moves with you and nothing
you posted last month is broken.
The redirect matters for more than convenience. If one page answered at two addresses, a search engine would count it as two sites and split whatever ranking either had earned. One address, one site.
While you are waiting
Section titled “While you are waiting”The screen tells you what we actually looked for, which is usually enough to fix it yourself:
| What it says | What it means |
|---|---|
| no DNS record found yet | The record has not reached us. If you have just added it, wait — this is normal. |
| it points at …, it needs to point at … | The record is there but the Value is wrong. Compare it with the table above. |
| stopped checking after 48 hours | Nothing ever appeared. Check the Name field, and that you edited the right domain. |
Disconnecting
Section titled “Disconnecting”Remove the domain in DragGo and it stops serving immediately — the certificate is deleted and the address is freed for you to use elsewhere.
Unpublishing the site does the same thing on its own: a site that is not live does not answer at your domain either.
