When we move the site we've built for you to your own domain, we call this "pointing" or "mapping" your domain. Think of this as giving directions to your domain name, so it knows where to take people who type in your web address. It's like attaching your home address to your actual house, so letters sent to your address reach you.
By handling this for you, we make sure your web address leads straight to your streaming site on our servers. This ensures your site works smoothly, safely, and reliably.
