This guide covers every major domain provider and explains each method clearly so you can complete the setup without confusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"full-guide-how-to-add-a-custom-domain-to-your-business-page-or-store\">Full Guide: How to Add a Custom Domain to Your Business Page or Store<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Below you will find detailed steps for Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap, and other popular registrars. Each section includes screenshots, official videos, recommended configurations, and troubleshooting notes to help you connect your custom domain successfully.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Access Your DNS Management Panel<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Log in to your domain provider account and open the DNS settings section for the domain you want to use. Depending on your provider, this section may be labeled as <em>DNS Management<\/em>, <em>Zone Editor<\/em>, <em>Advanced DNS<\/em>, or <em>DNS Records<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Add the Required CNAME Record<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>To connect your domain, you must create a CNAME record with the following values:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Type: CNAME Host: @ Value: site.devad.io Proxy: DNS Only TTL: Auto<\/code><\/pre><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some providers call the <strong>Host<\/strong> field \u201cName\u201d, \u201cAlias\u201d, or \u201cRecord Name\u201d. If your provider does not allow <strong>@<\/strong> for CNAME at the root, use the \u201cwww\u201d version instead and set up a redirect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Save Your Changes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>After saving the new record, DNS propagation usually takes between 5 minutes and 1 hour. In some rare cases, it may take up to 24 hours depending on your DNS provider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Add the Domain Inside Your Business Page or Store<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Return to your Business Page or Store settings and enter the domain you configured (e.g., <strong>yourdomain.com<\/strong>). Once submitted, your request will be processed by the website admin. During this time, your status may appear as <em>Pending<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"5-important-notes\">5. Important Notes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each domain provider has different interfaces and terminology. If something looks different from this guide, check your registrar\u2019s documentation, as they often provide step-by-step visuals.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"epcl-shortcode epcl-box notice\"><span class=\"epcl-icon\">\ud83d\udcaa<\/span><div class=\"epcl-box-content\">If you already use Cloudflare, please follow Cloudflare\u2019s specific instructions \u2014 especially the rules regarding \u201cDNS Only\u201d Proxy Mode and required SSL settings.<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"provider-specific-instructions\">Provider-Specific Instructions<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"epcl-shortcode epcl-tabs\"><ul class=\"tab-links\">\n<li><a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" data-id=\"tab-cloudflare523\">Cloudflare<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" data-id=\"tab-godaddy404\">GoDaddy<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" data-id=\"tab-namecheap217\">Namecheap<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" data-id=\"tab-bluehost-hostgator-cpanel620\">Bluehost \/ HostGator \/ cPanel<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"javascript:void(0)\" data-id=\"tab-other-providers369\">Other Providers<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><div class=\"tab-container\"><div id=\"tab-cloudflare523\" class=\"tab-item\">\nCloudflare is the most flexible DNS provider and recommended if you need full control or accelerated DNS performance.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-image gspb_image\" id=\"gspb_image-id-cf001\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/developers.cloudflare.com\/_astro\/records-panel.D_SmJ5N7.webp\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/div>\n<p><strong>Steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Log into Cloudflare and select your domain.<\/p>\n<p>Open the DNS tab.<\/p>\n<p>Click \u201cAdd Record\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Choose <strong>CNAME<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Set <strong>Name = @<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Set <strong>Target = site.devad.io<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Change proxy to <strong>DNS Only (grey cloud)<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Save.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>CNAME @ \u2192 site.devad.io Proxy Status: DNS Only TTL: Auto<\/code><\/pre>\n<div class=\"epcl-shortcode epcl-box information\"><span class=\"epcl-icon\">\ud83d\udca1<\/span><div class=\"epcl-box-content\">Cloudflare requires &#8220;DNS Only&#8221; mode because proxied (orange cloud) interferes with domain verification and routing.<\/div><\/div>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\"> https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=Ytr7R_BN0JY <\/div>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div><div id=\"tab-godaddy404\" class=\"tab-item\">\nGoDaddy uses a simple DNS manager and is one of the easiest platforms for beginners.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/d33wubrfki0l68.cloudfront.net\/c1e0dac0e449e0581e78b810e16a3a836b6b548d\/4b991\/en-us\/m365\/docs\/media\/godaddy-dns.png\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/div>\n<p><strong>Steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Log into GoDaddy \u2192 \u201cMy Products\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Find your domain \u2192 \u201cDNS\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Scroll to \u201cRecords\u201d \u2192 Add.<\/p>\n<p>Choose <strong>CNAME<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Host: <strong>@<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Points to: <strong>site.devad.io<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>TTL: <strong>1 hour<\/strong> or <strong>Default<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Save.<\/p>\n<pre class=\"wp-block-code\"><code>Type: CNAME Host: @ Points to: site.devad.io<\/code><\/pre>\n<\/div><div id=\"tab-namecheap217\" class=\"tab-item\">\nNamecheap uses \u201cAdvanced DNS\u201d where most custom records are configured.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-greenshift-blocks-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.namecheap.com\/cdn-cgi\/image\/width=1536,quality=85\/https:\/\/www.namecheap.com\/blog\/content\/images\/2022\/09\/Advanced-DNS-tab.png\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/div>\n<p><strong>Steps:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Log into Namecheap \u2192 Domain List.<\/p>\n<p>Click \u201cManage\u201d \u2192 \u201cAdvanced DNS\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Under \u201cHost Records\u201d, click \u201cAdd New Record\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Choose <strong>CNAME Record<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Host: <strong>@<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Value: <strong>site.devad.io<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>TTL: Auto.<\/p>\n<p>Save.<\/p>\n<div class=\"epcl-shortcode epcl-box error\"><span class=\"epcl-icon\">\u274c<\/span><div class=\"epcl-box-content\"><\/div><\/div>Some Namecheap plans do not allow root domain CNAME.
