Custom Domains - Intro

domain.
We connect to your domains using CNAME records & A records.
Adding a custom domain is a two-step process:

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.

If your domain is not validating, here are some common reasons:
The NAME requires a suffix
Some domain registrars require you to add the CNAME NAME with a suffix.
For example if the NAME is abcdef try adding the NAME with your domain as the suffix. E.g. abcdef.mydomain.com
Additionally, some domain registrars also require you to add a trailing . (dot), E.g. abcdef.mydomain.com.

If you're moving your domain to a new registrar, you'll need an EPP code (also called an Auth Code or Authorization Code) to authorise the transfer. This is a security measure that confirms you own the domain and have approved the move.
What Is an EPP Code?
An EPP code is a unique string of characters tied to your domain. The receiving registrar will ask you for this code before they can complete the transfer. Without it, the transfer cannot proceed.
