If you own a domain but don’t want to change its DNS, you can easily assign a subdomain to your GetResponse website.

To assign your subdomain, go to **[Website builder](https://app.getresponse.com/wbe/)**. In the website overview, click on the **Connect a domain you own** link.

How can I assign a subdomain I’ve already added to GetResponse?
---------------------------------------------------------------

1.  If you have domains or subdomains already added to your GetResponse account, you will be able to select an unassigned one from the list. You will be able to see which are already assigned to other sites.  
      
    Note: This list shows both domains and subdomains that are already assigned to your account.  
      
    Click on the **arrow** in the **Which domain would you like to use?** field.
