So I added it, and now I go back to terminal and add the hostname as [community.aviation-airways-va.com](http://community.aviation-airways-va.com) ?

EDIT: Now at SMTP, how do I put Gmail as the SMTP, since I use Gmail alot

@Stephen Can’t reply anymore. It says I have to add a payment method. Someone who runs a discourse manually accepts members. How do I set it up so I can manually accept members?

When prompted to yes, that’s the URL.

See how far you can get by following the guide now, the cloud install guide is excellent and will give you a good measure of whether this is something you’re going to want to maintain going forward.

Re Gmail I would look into a free mailgun account. It will let you send email from your new domain and is going to be much easier to maintain.
