# Configuring a Custom Domain

Learn how to connect your own custom domain name (e.g. yourclub.com) to your Club Creator website.

By default, your website is accessible at a free `*.clubcreator.app` subdomain. If you are on a paid plan, you can connect your own professional custom domain name (such as `sydneyfc.com` or `yourclub.org`) to brand your site.

## Step 1: Open Project Settings

From your workspace dashboard, click on the **Settings** button on your project's card, or expand **Site Settings** in the Console sidebar and select **Custom Domain**.

## Step 2: Enter your Custom Domain

In the domain input field, type your custom domain name (do not include `https://` or `www.`, just type the raw domain name, e.g. `yourclub.com`).

Click the **Save** or **Connect Domain** button to submit the change.

## Step 3: Configure your DNS Records

After saving, the settings page will update to display a set of DNS record instructions. To connect your domain successfully:

1. Log in to your domain registrar account (e.g. GoDaddy, Namecheap, Google Domains).
2. Go to the DNS Zone Editor or DNS settings panel for your domain.
3. Add a new **CNAME** or **A** record with the Host/Name and Value/Target details displayed on your Club Creator settings screen.
4. Once added, DNS changes can take up to 24–48 hours to propagate globally. Our edge routing worker will automatically issue a free SSL certificate for your site as soon as the DNS records are verified.
