Add a Custom Domain

A Custom Domain is a unique address used to identify a website. You can purchase a Domain Name from a Domain Registrar.

To add a Custom Domain to a Site in CloudCannon:

1. Open the Site to which you want to add the Custom Domain.
2. Navigate to the Custom Domain page under Site Settings.
3. Select the Add new custom domain option in the Choose your hosting option dropdown.
4. In the Domain Name text field, enter the domain and tld of you want to connect to this Site (e.g., example.com).
5. Click the Add Domain button.

CloudCannon will connect your Custom Domain to your Site.

The domain will now appear in your Domain browser, which you can access from your Organization Dashboard.

To see your Site content live on your domain, you must set up your DNS. For more information, please read our documentation on configuring CloudCannon DNS (recommended) or configuring external DNS.

We also recommend adding an SSL certificate to your Site. For more information, please read our documentation on adding an auto-generated SSL certificate or adding a custom SSL certificate.

To stop hosting your Site on a Custom Domain, navigate to the Danger Zone tab on the Custom Domain page and click the Remove Custom Domain button.
