Custom Domain

After deploying your site and making the necessary changes, it's time to connect your own domain.

Open Domain Settings

Click on your site name to open the Site Details and then switch to the Domain tab:

Connect your domain

Connecting a domain involves two steps. First, you copy the CNAME record (iosj9iydi4naxz9.static.studio in this example) and add it to your DNS settings.

We are using Cloudflare for this tutorial, but the process should be easily replicable using your DNS tool.

Add a CNAME record

In Cloudflare, I'll go to my project and click on DNS:

Add subdomain record (www)

Here is what an example configuration for adding a subdomain CNAME record will look like:

• Type: CNAME
• Name: www
• Target: your static.studio subdomain
• Proxy Status: disabled (only relevant for Cloudflare)

Please click the Save button to save your settings and ensure everything is set up correctly.

Add APEX record

Here is what an example configuration for adding an APEX CNAME record will look like:

• Type: CNAME
• Name: @
• Target: your static.studio subdomain
• Proxy Status: disabled (only relevant for Cloudflare)

Please click the Save button to save your settings and ensure everything is set up correctly.

Connect Domain

Back in your dashboard and to your Connect Domain settings, add the domain and click on Connect Domain:

We will automatically set up the counterpart (www vs. non-www) for you, so we recommend setting up both variations inside your Cloudflare dashboard.

Issue SSL Certificate

Once your domain is successfully connected, you need to issue an SSL certificate. Please click the Issue SSL Certificate button, and we handle that for you (we also handle renewals automatically).
