2. Connect your domain
The final step is to add a second CNAME record to connect your domain to your uploaded sites.
We recommend that you add the wildcard symbol (*) as the NAME
. This will allow you to upload sites to any subdomain of your custom domain (e.g. abc.mydomain.com).
You should see configuration details similar to these:
Alternatively, you can add just www
as the NAME
or the equivalent subdomain you've added (e.g. if you've added abc.mydomain.com in step 1 then just add abc
as the NAME
).
Finally, click Done
and you'll then find a site created for you in your dashboard to upload content.

Redirecting root to wwwIf you would like to host your site on the root of your subdomain (e.g. https://mydomain.com) then we recommended setting up forwarding so mydomain.com forwards to www.mydomain.com. This is a web standard configuration.
This is usually achievable with your domain registrar.

Redirecting with GoDaddyIn the bottom right-hand corner of the DNS Management view for your domain you'll find a box called "Forwarding". Set that to https://
www.yourdomain.com
Permanent (301)
Forward only
.
Additionally, please delete any "@" A records or "www" CNAME records as this will prevent the redirect.
