How do you connect your own domain name?
I don't understand computer speak so I don't have any idea what I am doing.
I have a domain name with hostgator. I have built a free website here at ucraft.
I don't know how to connect my domain name to the ucraft website.
I've tried to follow the instructions on: https://support.ucraft.com/en/articles/2816227-connect-a-custom-domain-to-your-website but on hostgator I try to change the name servers to the data numbers you have given me but nothing happens.
Please advise a layperson exactly what I need to do.
