  2. Scroll down to the section titled "Autoinstallers" and click on "Ghost" under the "Softaculous Apps Installer" section.

How to configure custom domain settings for a Ghost site on SiteGround?

To configure custom domain settings for a Ghost site on SiteGround, you'll need to follow these steps:

  1. Purchase a Domain: First, you need to purchase a domain name from a domain registrar of your choice. SiteGround also offers domain registration if you prefer to keep everything in one place.
  2. Add the Domain to SiteGround: Once you have your domain, log in to your SiteGround account and navigate to "Websites" > "Site Tools" for the relevant website. Then, go to the "Site" tab and click on "Domain Manager." From there, click on the "Add Domain" button and enter your domain name.
  3. Configure DNS Settings: After adding your domain to SiteGround, you'll need to configure the DNS settings to point your domain to your Ghost site. In the SiteGround Domain Manager, click on the gear icon next to your domain and select "Manage DNS." Here, you will see various DNS record types like A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, etc. First, make sure there's an A record for your domain pointing to the IP address of your SiteGround server. You can check this by going to the "Site Tools" section for your website and navigating to "Site" > "IP Address." Next, you need to add a CNAME (Canonical Name) record to point your subdomain (e.g., www) to your Ghost site. Create a new CNAME record and enter the Alias (subdomain) and Destination field. The Destination should be your Ghost site's URL or IP address.
  4. Configure Ghost Site Settings: Once the DNS settings are updated, log in to your Ghost admin interface. On your Ghost dashboard, go to "Settings" > "General" and under the "Site URL" section, enter your custom domain (e.g., https://www.example.com). Save the settings.
  5. Force HTTPS (optional): If you want to enable HTTPS for your Ghost site, go to the "HTTPS" section in your SiteGround control panel and follow the instructions to obtain an SSL certificate. Then, go back to your Ghost admin interface and update the "Site URL" to use HTTPS.
  6. Wait for DNS Propagation: DNS changes can take some time to propagate globally. It typically takes a few hours but can sometimes take up to 48 hours. During this time, your domain may not be accessible consistently.

That's it! You have now configured your custom domain settings for your Ghost site on SiteGround. It may take some time for the changes to take effect, so be patient and keep checking your domain periodically.
