How to Connect a Custom Domain

DNS is the switchboard for your domain.

A registrar manages the domain registration; DNS records tell browsers and services where to go. Your hosting provider gives exact CNAME, A, or other record instructions. Keep existing mail records intact—changing DNS blindly can interrupt email.

1. Confirm you can access the registrar and DNS zone.
2. Copy the hosting provider’s exact custom-domain instructions.
3. Add only the required record and wait for propagation.
4. Verify HTTPS and both the www and root-domain behavior.
5. Document the setup and keep renewal/payment details current.
