Custom domain names are unique links that identify your website.（eg hello.com）
You can buy a domain name for your site on sites like GoDaddy.
To connect a custom domain name to a website on STUDIO, some settings are necessary both on STUDIO and on your domain provider website.
*If you are using other domain services, you will still need to make the following DNS record settings. Please contact your domain service provider for more information.
1. STUDIO Settings
- From your project dashboard or the editor top bar, click on ‘Publish’
- Click on ‘Use own domain’ and enter the domain you have
- Copy the A Record that shows (35.194.122.208)
- Do domain provider settings explained below in step 2
- Come back to STUDIO and click on "Next" to check the connection status
- Follow the instructions on the screen to proceed with the rest of the settings
NB: It will take a few hours for the settings of 4. to become active. There is no need to keep this publish panel open in the meantime.
2. Domain provider settings
The domain provider is where you have bought your domain name.
1. Navigate to the domain list on your domain provider account
2. Go to your domain DNS settings page
3. Add a DNS record
- choose A as type
- enter hostname (usually www)
- paste 35.194.122.208 as ‘points to’ or ‘value’
