🌐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 or store.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.
