Hover Domain Setup

This tutorial will guide you on how to properly connect your existing Hover domain to your Carrot site and how to also connect a new account with Carrot’s 10% discount applied. Don’t have a Hover account yet? Carrot is integrated with Hover, so you can automatically connect your Hover DNS with your Carrot site through this link.

*If you have a custom email, this process will likely disconnect the email. Please be sure to check with your registrar to ensure it continues to work after this update.

ℹ️ NOTE: When connecting a domain, it can often take up to 24-48 hours for the changes to take effect. This can vary depending on your domain registrar and the DNS settings. If you’ve followed our instructions below and it’s been longer than 48 hours, feel free to reach out to us!
