Adding records to your DNS provider

Adding records to your DNS provider


From your control panel, navigate to the Custom Domains section and click Add. In the popup, enter a valid domain name and click Add.


You can choose to validate a full domain name (e.g. mydomain.com) or specifically a subdomain (e.g. sub.mydomain.com).


If you choose to validate the full domain, you can later upload sites to any subdomain you want via the control panel and without the need to add further CNAME records.


Automatic Set-up


We use Entri to automatically add the relevant DNS records to you domain provider.


Entri should automatically detect your domain provider, request you to sign-in and then add the relevant DNS settings.


If Entri cannot detect the domain provider then you will be asked to select your domain provider.


Manual Set-up


If the automatic set-up fails you can add the relevant DNS settings manually using the details sent to you by email.


Step 1: Add DNS records to your domain provider


Please refer to your email for the exact values, the following are dummy values.


Name and Value may be labelled differently based upon your domain registrar.


Record Set A




Record Set B




Record Set C (optional root to www forwarding)


Type: A Record
Host: @
Value: 18.168.91.127



Step 2: Test your set-up


It can take some time for the CNAME records that you've applied to reflect across the internet. You can use a tool like DNSChecker.org to check this.


You should test your set-up by ensuring the correct value for record set A displays in all regions.


STEP 3: Validate your set-up


Once all the regions show the correct value, please navigate to Tiiny Host and click the Validate button next to your domain in the Custom Domains section.


Redirecting root to www


This is automatically handled if you have out @ record added to your DNS.
