Yes, indeed. You can either choose to transfer or redirect your domain to your Mono site:

3. Click on "Domains" 
4. Choose to redirect your domain to your mono website

If you have access to manage your domain through a control panel, you can choose to create either a CNAME to the address of your mono site or an A-record for the IP address 185.58.213.125. If you do not have access to your control panel, you should contact your current domain provider and ask them to do it for you.

To move your domain to Mono, login to your Mono site and go to My Account >  Account Center > Domains > Transfer Domain and follow the steps.  Make sure you have your EPP code (also known as Auth code or Transfer Key) from your current domain host to facilitiate the transfer. Until we can confirm the transfer with your current host, assuming you supplied the correct EPP code, your domain status will be pending.  Note that transfer processes take up to 48 hours and longer in some cases.

Yes! - It's one thing Mono offers that most of our competitors, don't. Just login to your site editor and go to My Account > Account Center > Email Subscriptions where you can then choose from 1, 5 or 10 email accounts and add them to your shopping cart.  Note that you need your own domain (e.g. yoursite.com) in order to buy an email subscription. That is, we do not offer email subscriptions for sites that use a subdomain on mono.net (e.g. yoursite.mono.net).

• Internet Explorer 7.0 and above for PC
• Mozilla Firefox 1.0 + for PC / Mac / LINUX
• Mac Safari
• Chrome for PC / Mac

While we support all the browsers above, we recommend Mono users stick with Firefox or Chrome to avoid bugs when editing their site. Note that we do not support beta versions of these browsers.

No we don't. Mono makes it possible to create your own website easily without any needed technical skills. All files etc., are uploaded through our site editor and thus we don’t support FTP access.

It is most likely that you have pasted text from MS-Word or heavily formatted text directly into the WYSIWYG editor. We recommend you use the Paste tools found in the top left area of the WYSIWYG editor to strip any strange formatting in order to display the text with the format/style of your website.  

In other cases it could be your browser version that is causing some of the problems. We recommend you use the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox or Safari when working with your Mono site.

It may very well be your browser version that is causing some of the problems. We recommend you use the latest versions of Chrome, Firefox or Safari when working with your Mono site. 

It could also be due to custom-added HTML or CSS. While Mono gives you the ability to use these functions, we do not support them directly so make sure you know your way around HTML and/or CSS if you choose to add them to your site.

Yes! Feel free to change back and forth between the old designs and D4. It won’t affect your website content. But note that D4 modules won’t work in older designs (See below).

› Back to top​

Unfortunately no. The new modules are designed to work with D4 designs only so you won’t be able to use them in older designs. If you have been working in D4 designs and put some of the new modules on your website, they will not work if you change back to an older design. Note that these modules won’t go away by themselves so you have to delete them if you change your design from a D4 to an older design. Otherwise you will be able to see them as grey fields once you publish your site.

Global Data is a feature in the Mono tool that helps you manage the content on your website. You only have to enter your general business data once in Global Data and relevant modules will be updated with information such as your address, phone number, email or company name.

› Back to top​

If you want a complete overview of all the new features in D4 we recommend that you stop by our Mono blog for more insights. You could start by reading the article “In-depth look at D4 Design”. We will be updating the blog regularly.

› Back to top​

You can easily use D4 designs without any knowledge of CSS. The Mono website builder is as easy to use as always. But if you know your way around CSS using D4 is a big advantage because you now can change everything since the design is made of 100% CSS.

› Back to top​

Unfortunately you cannot make an easy upgrade to D4 if you have a V1 website (all websites founded before February 1st 2011). If you want to use D4 you have to create a whole new account on mono.net. We apologize for the inconvenience but V1 and all the newer skin designs including D4 are two different systems, so it is not possible to make a simple upgrade.
