    Option 1 — Move Existing Site to Your Plan

    Use this option if you wish to add a domain that's already configured in your panel. Select a domain from the drop-down list and click the Confirm & Add site button.

    Option 2 — Add New Domain

    Use this option if your domain is not yet hosted at DreamHost.

    • Enter Domain Name — Add your existing domain not hosted at DreamHost. Note that you will need to point your DNS records to DreamHost to use with the DreamPress plan. 
    • Create a Subdomain — Enter a subdomain for a domain already added in your panel.
    • Free Temporary Domain — Enter a name to create a new staging website ending in .dream.press. For example, if your site is example.com, just type in example to create a new temporary domain titled example.dream.press.
