4. At the bottom of this page in the Custom website address section, choose the option I have an existing website domain to use and click the Start custom domain setup button to proceed.
5. Fill in your domain details on the next screen that appears. Carefully read the instructions in the blue box provided. Press the Link this domain to my account button to proceed.
6. On the following screen will be instructions on how to verify your ownership of this domain.
Your domain Verification Code will look similar to "dvriukravlaxbrgr" shown above. You will need the Verification Code at step (11) of this tutorial.
7. Now in your other web browser window or tab logged into Crazy Domains, press Email button at the top of the page.
8. In the Email area you will see the domain your email hosting is connected too. Click on the Control Panel button.

If your domain verification was unsuccessful, please wait up to 10 minutes and try again by pressing the Verify domain button again.

| CNAME | www | 1800 | customerdomain.fotomerchant.com |
| A | Leave this field blank | 1800 | 54.215.0.71 |
| A | Leave this field blank | 1800 | 54.215.0.74 |
