Important: We don't sell custom domains. If you don't have a custom domain, buy one from any domain registrar out there. Please note that IDN domains (domains that contain special characters) are not supported by Template Websites.
Follow these steps to link your custom domain with your Template Websites project.
Step 1. Click the Publish link on your project
Step 2. Select Custom Domain in the popup
Step 3. Enter your custom domain name. Include the www. as well. Here is a domain example: www.mydomain.com
Step 4. Click the Submit button. After going through these first steps you need to make some changes where you have registered your domain in order to create a CNAME Record and A Record redirects that points to your project on Template Websites.
Step 5. Create a CNAME Redirect. This is done where you've purchase the domain. This is very simple, all companies that sell domains have these settings, you'll usually find them under NS/DNS Records.
Step 6. Creating an A Record Redirect. In the same DNS dashboard from Step 5.
- Important: It takes up to 48 hours for these changes to propagate across the internet.
- This publishing option comes with free SSL from us. Takes up to 24 hours to be installed.
- If you've waited 48 hours and your custom domain publishing screens show Not found, get in touch with the company you've purchased the domain from and tell them they need to help you connect custom DNS on your domain because you've made the changes and something must not work as it should on their side.
