# Domain Map for WordPress Multisite

 * Hi all
 * Need a bit of help / reassurance.
 * I have WordPress multisite set up with multiple sites with subdomains as their
   URL. unleash.alingham.com, havengrove.alingham.com, and of course, alingham.com
 * However, I have recently purchased unleasheducation.co.nz and want to point this
   to the unleash.alingham.com multi site…
 * I have done this by pointing the domain to cloudflare through the nameservers,
   and then pointing cloudflare at the IP of the alingham.com server.
    I believe
   this is what is required.
 * However, regardless of whatever settings I have tried, and countless cache refreshes,
   unleasheducation.co.nz keeps showing me to “cgi-sys/defaultwebpage.cgi”
 * Help!
 * Please let me know any further information you require to troubleshoot my problem.
   I am secretly hoping I just have to wait a little bit longer… but at the same
   time, I’ve been waiting since yesterday for this to come through, and still nothing.
   I’d hate to still be waiting in a week’s time and find out it’s some setting 
   I haven’t done right!
 * Cheers
 * Al.

 * Hi,
    If you are using a shared/vps/dedicated web hosting package with cPanel 
   installed, you need to add the new domain under Aliases. Or if you are using 
   a custom configured server, you need to add the new domain to the nginx/apache
   configuration file.
 * Also on cloudflare, instead of pointing the domain to an IP address, create a
   cname record with the following details:
    @ unleash.alingham.com
 * This should solve the default page problem.
 * Let me know if you still face the same problem after the above changes are made.
   
   Happy to help!
 * Good day.
