Moably Tip: How to use the "Use a custom domain name" feature
Would you like to use your own custom domain for your mobile website (e.g. m.website.com or mobile.website.com)? If you have a Pro or Dev Account with Moably, you have access to this feature and you are ready to get started.
Almost every website hosting company does this a little different. We've included a number of examples below.If your hosting provider isn't on our list, feel free to contact [email protected] for technical support.
First, log into Moably and go to step three of the mobile website builder, then enter your mobile domain that you'd like to use in the "Use a custom domain name" area (e.g. m.example.com). Once that is complete click the green save button and then head over to your hosting provider and follow the instructions below.

5. Click Add New CNAME Record in the box labelled CNAMES (aliases). If you've already created a CNAME record for your site's address, click the pencil icon next to the existing CNAME record.
