Frequently Asked Questions
| How hard is it to manage my own content? | Not that hard. The software that runs our platform is called WordPress, and is used by literally millions of people all around the world. Just like them, you can get the hang of it. |
| Can I use my own domain name? | Certainly. Create your OM4 site as a sub-domain first (myname.om4business.com).
If you don’t already have one, purchase a domain from your own domain registrar. You then request that we link your domain to your OM4 site, so myname.om4business.com becomes mydomain.com. |
