Setting Up Your Domain on Netlify

Follow these steps to point your custom domain to this Netlify site.

Option A — Buy a domain through Netlify

  1. Go to Site configuration → Domain management → Domains in the Netlify dashboard.
  2. Click Add a domain and choose Register a new domain.
  3. Search for and purchase your domain — Netlify handles DNS automatically.

Option B — Use a domain you already own

  1. In the Netlify dashboard open Site configuration → Domain management → Domains.
  2. Click Add a domain and enter your existing domain name.
  3. Log into your domain registrar and update the nameservers to the ones Netlify provides, or add a CNAME record pointing to your Netlify subdomain (e.g. your-site.netlify.app).
  4. Wait for DNS propagation (usually a few minutes to a few hours).
  5. Netlify automatically provisions a free TLS/SSL certificate via Let's Encrypt once DNS is verified.

Verify & go live

  1. Back in the dashboard, the domain card will show DNS verified when propagation is complete.
  2. Your site is now live at your custom domain with HTTPS enabled.
