Getting an actor website is an essential step in being a professional actor. Covid-19 transformed the world of casting. Where auditions were once in-person in the early stages of production, now the 1st line of auditions occur almost uniformly as remote opportunities. What’s more, as casting directors continue to get flooded with great talent, only those organized, easy to find online and making the best impressions are getting call-backs and follow-up auditions. This is because if you were a casting professional, would you work with actors that make your life easy by having all of their casting profiles, headshots, reels and resume in one place? Or would you prefer actors emailing over attached headshots, Youtube hyperlinks of reels, attachments of a resume and a bio and a phone number in the body of an email? Unlike a casting profile such as Backstage, an actor website allows you to package your brand identity specific to your look and control exactly how you want to be presented without the limitations of a template nor the thousands of actor profiles beside yours demanding attention away from you. An actor website is also a custom headquarters built to compliment your headshots, reels, resume, contact details, social media, casting profiles and more! This makes it easier for industry professionals to access your information, find, share and refer your portfolio to other professionals on any given project.

A domain name is the URL or web address where visitors can find a website, such as www.actorsquare.com. A domain name is like a street address that directs people to your website's location.

In lamens terms, web hosting is where your actor website lives. A hosting account also comes with storage space, which can store your acting materials such as your headshots, reels, voice over demos and resumes. Web hosting also includes our user-friendly builder where you can make easy updates and changes to your site once we build it. Additionally, you can manage your domain, your cPanel account, email accounts and more through your hosting account. Remember, each of our plans comes with a hosting account. This is where your website 'lives.'

All of our actor web design plans include one web hosting account and a custom website built by our team of professional web designers. The actor website will be built custom on Wordpress. So no need to get web hosting services from a third-party company.

DNS stands for Domain Name System, which are the coordinates used to connect your domain to our servers where your web hosting and website will be found. At ActorSquare, our DNS are: ns1.actorsquare.com ns2.actorsquare.com

To get a custom domain name, you can register a domain in the same process when registering for one of our actor web design plans. To do this, go to our pricing page. Choose a plan. Then on the ‘Choose a Domain’ page, search for a domain name that is available and choose the one right for you.

Absolutely! If you already have a domain registered at another provider such as GoDaddy, Google, or Wix, you can either transfer your domain to us or connect it to ActorSquare by choosing the 3rd option, “Use existing domain and update nameservers.” Our custom nameservers are:
ns1.actorsquare.com
ns1.actorsquare.com
If this is confusing, don’t worry! Our Customer Support team will help you connect or transfer your domain to us to make the process easier. In most cases, we recommend transferring, which helps you manage all aspects of your site in one place at ActorSquare. If you want to learn more on how to redirect your domain to ActorSquare, feel free to email us at contact@actorsquare.com or book a consultation call where an expert designer will guide you with ease.

It is up to you! We can use any of our actor websites as your template.

Our intuitive design form allows you to make notes on all of this to inform your designer when your site is being developed.
