A "URL" (also called a "domain" or "domain name") is just a fancy word for a site address.

The "Personal URL" upgrade option on Xanga lets you change your site address from the standard username.xanga.com to a totally custom address like yourname.com! It's a paid upgrade option - we've tried to keep the pricing competitive with (often better than!) the major registrars and other blog hosting sites that may offer a similar feature.

You can register a new URL through Xanga or use an existing URL (one you already own):

New URL Registrations - What's Included:

• Registration fees
• Domain mapping - needed to get the URL to work with your site
• WHOIS privacy - other registrars typically charge extra for this service - on Xanga, you get it for free (a savings of about $10 per year)!
• Personal Email Addresses - with Google Apps (see below)

Existing URLs - What's Included:

• Domain mapping - needed to get the URL to work with your site
• Personal Email Addresses - with Google Apps (see below)
• Support for Subdomains - you can choose to map your entire URL (e.g. www.yourname.com) to your Xanga site or you can use a specific subdomain (e.g. blog.yourname.com)

Personal Email Addresses

For any Personal URL you get, we'll show you how to integrate with Google's Gmail system, so you can set up email address like "yourname@personalurl.com" and send emails to and from your Personal URL!
