🌐How To Connect A Custom Domain
Custom domains serve as a unique identity for your brand on the Internet. Our dApp Builder allows you to connect a custom domain to your website easily. This guide will walk you through the steps to set up your custom domain and make your project accessible via a professional web address.
Step 1: Enter Your Domain
Initiate Connection: In the Project Settings, click on the 'Connect Domain' option.
Input Your Domain: Enter the full URL of your custom domain in the provided field, including the subdomain if applicable (e.g.,
www.example.com
orstore.example.com
).
Step 2: Update DNS Records
Access DNS Settings: Log in to your domain registrar's dashboard and navigate to the DNS settings page for your domain.
Add A Record: Create an A record with the value provided by the dApp Builder, typically the IP address
77.68.100.25
. This record will direct traffic for your domain to the servers hosting your website.
Step 3: Verify Domain Connection
Domain Activation: After adding the A record, the dApp Builder will periodically check for updates to your DNS records. Once detected, your domain will be activated, and your website will be accessible via the new custom domain.
Confirmation: You will see a confirmation message in the dApp Builder once your domain is successfully connected and active.
Step 4: Final Checks
Propagation Time: DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate throughout the Internet, so your site may not be immediately accessible to everyone.
Test Your Domain: Once the DNS changes have propagated, test accessing your site through the custom domain to ensure it's pointing correctly.
Troubleshooting
Propagation Delay: If your site isn't accessible after 48 hours, check to ensure the DNS settings are correct.
Support Assistance: For any persistent issues or questions, reach out to our support team for help.
Connecting a custom domain is a straightforward process that significantly enhances your website's professionalism and brand recognition. Follow these steps, and you'll be set up in no time.
