4. Push your site

bundle exec wagon push production --data

Try it! Use the given subdomain and try it in your browser!

5. Set up your domain

Using your registrar, you need to set up your domain:

www.mydomain.com CNAME domains.locomotivehosting.com

Please note that we do not support "naked domains" (like mydomain.com) as it requires to set up an IP address and we can't guarantee that our IPs won't change. You can use external services like wwwizer.com.

6. Redirect your subdomain to your main domain.

This is Work In Progress
