To use a custom domain, you must configure a
CNAME record with your domain registrar or DNS provider that points to the provided target address. This process essentially tells the internet that your custom subdomain (e.g.,
app.your-domain.com) is an alias for the service's address (
custom-domains.aifunnels.ai)
How to Set Up Your CNAME Record
Here's a general guide on how to configure your CNAME record. The exact steps and terminology may vary slightly depending on your DNS provider (e.g., GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Namecheap).
- Access Your DNS Settings: Log in to your domain registrar or DNS provider account. Look for a section related to DNS settings, DNS management, or zone editor.
- Add a New Record: Find the option to add a new DNS record. This might be a button labeled "Add Record," "Add DNS Record," or a similar phrase.
- Choose the CNAME Record Type: From the dropdown menu of record types (A, AAAA, MX, TXT, etc.), select CNAME.
- Enter the Host/Name: In the Host or Name field, enter the subdomain you want to use. If your custom domain is
app.your-domain.com, you would enter app. The domain name (your-domain.com) is typically added automatically. - Enter the Target/Value: In the Value or Target field, enter the provided address:
custom-domains.aifunnels.ai. - Save the Record: Click Save, Add Record, or Create to finalize the changes.
Important Considerations
- Propagation Time: After saving the record, it can take anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours for the changes to propagate across the internet. During this time, your custom domain may not work correctly.
- No Multiple CNAMEs: You cannot have a CNAME record and other records (like an A or MX record) for the exact same host name.
- Troubleshooting: If your custom domain isn't working after a few hours, double-check that the host name and target value are entered correctly. You can use online tools like
dig or nslookup to verify your DNS records.
