Follow these instructions to set up your own domain for your marketplace when using iwantmyname as your registrar. You will need to configure your DNS records and make your domain name point to Sharetribe servers. Note that it may take up to 48 hours before these changes work across the internet.

After your DNS settings have been updated, visit the "General / Domain" page on your Admin panel to check them and start using your custom domain.

You can also read the official iwantmyname documentation if needed.
