Custom Domain
Enter your domain in website settings and connect to the dedicated address.
Where do I enter it?
- On the website details screen, open Settings and enter it in the Domain tab.
- Enter only the hostname, one per line, excluding paths such as https:// and /page.
- Example inputs are www.example.com or service.example.com.
- If you want to use both root and www addresses, use example.com and www.example.com. Enter one line each.
- When connecting for the first time, we recommend a subdomain such as www rather than the root domain.
Connect once from DNS
After saving the domain, create a CNAME record in the domain's DNS management screen. Add. Cake20 does not access your domain provider account. Only this step is handled by you.
