Pointing your DNS (CNAME and A records)

The exact DNS record to add at your domain registrar.

After adding a domain in the app, you point it at the platform with one DNS record at your registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare and so on).

Subdomain (recommended)

Add a CNAME record:

  • Host / Name: your subdomain, e.g. go
  • Value / Target: the CNAME target shown on the add-domain screen

Root domain

If you must use a bare root domain, add an A record pointing to the server IP shown on the same screen, because many registrars do not allow a CNAME on the root.

DNS changes can take from a few minutes up to a few hours to propagate. Click Verify again once it resolves. After that, enable HTTPS (most hosts issue a free certificate automatically).
