Are you a premium paid member of FAA? If so then you have an artist website where you change your domain name. Sign in there and behind the scenes and click on Custom Domain name for directions.

Go behind the scenes here to find your artist website.

You should also upload a profile picture.

Thanks for your reply. I made the change but still have a different default name.
I originally had a free account and upgraded to the premium. When I did this it kept my original default domain name which is appearing differently in the URL line than the custom domain name. I would like to be able to have them as the same name.

Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Changing your profile name is very easy to do.

At the top of the site, in the menu to the right, is a drop down when logged in.

PROFILE page takes you to all your art as you have set it up
BEHIND THE SCENES is the administration area where all the tools are to set up the site.

At this time you are looking for your CONTACT INFORMATION area. If you just need to use one name, add the name in the first name space and then a space in the surname area.

If you need the URL also changing, just let me know exactly what you want. No capital letters or full stops (.) and must be under 20 characters

If you mean a domain name and not an account name

Go to your artistwebsite premium site
Log in
Go to CUSTOM NAME DOMAIN
Add your website on that page as

yourdomain.com

(or whatever your domain is) with no html or www

then follow the directions on that page

If you get stuck I have a tutorial on my own site http://1stangel.co.uk/fineartamerica/2014/10/25/custom-domains-artist-website/

Hope this helps

Abbie
