At mastodon.site, we don’t register or manage domain names for you. If you decide to bring your own domain name, you’ll need to update a few settings to get your mastodon server up and running.

When you buy a domain name, you use a company called a registrar - they manage the payments and annual renewals. In most cases, the registrar will also set you up with their nameservers ; nameservers link your domain name to specific servers on the internet.

You’ll need to update those nameservers in order to use mastodon.site with a domain name.
