Can I use a different subdomain instead of "blog"?v
Currently, the hosted blog is automatically set up on blog.yourwebsite.com. If
you need a different subdomain, please contact support using the "I need help" button in the
integration settings.
Where can I find my DNS provider?v
Your DNS provider is typically where you purchased your domain name (like GoDaddy, Namecheap, or Cloudflare). If you're not sure:
Check the nameservers for your domain using a
DNS lookup tool
- Look for emails from your domain registrar
- Contact your IT team or web developer
BabyLoveGrowth will automatically detect your DNS provider when you add the record, and we'll show a direct link to their DNS management page.
Do I need to have an existing website to use blog hosting?v
Yes, you need to have a registered domain name to set up blog hosting. The hosted blog will be
available at a subdomain of your main website (e.g., blog.yoursite.com).
If you don't have a domain yet, you can purchase one from providers like
Namecheap
,
GoDaddy
, or
Cloudflare

CMS integrations
