# Custom Domain

## 🌐 Setting Up a Custom Domain

To configure a custom domain for your platform, follow these steps:

1. Navigate to **Settings > Domain.**
2. In the C**ustom Domain** **field**, enter your domain without the HTTPS prefix (e.g., coincideaio.com).
3. Click **Save**.

Next, access your domain provider's panel (e.g., Google Domains, GoDaddy, BlueHost):

1. Go to the DNS settings for your domain, typically found in **Advanced Settings** or **DNS Management**.

2. Create an A record with @ as the host name, pointing to the IP address 76.76.21.21.

3. Next, create a CNAME record with www as the host name, pointing to your root domain. This will allow users to access your domain with 'www' (e.g., [www.example.com](http://www.example.com)).

4. Click **Save.**

{% hint style="info" %}
Please be aware that while DNS records typically propagate immediately, in some cases, it may take up to 48 hours for changes to take effect on your platform. This propagation process does not depend on Intellectra but rather on your domain hosting provider.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Adding a custom domain will not affect your existing domain.intellectra.io subdomain.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="danger" %}
If you are using the **CloudFlare** for domain hosting, **DISABLE** the **Always Online and Proxy** options.&#x20;

If you are using the **Hostinger** for domain hosting, **DISABLE** the **Proxy** option in the DNS configuration.&#x20;

These options may impact the correct functioning of your platform's custom domain.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
Please note that changing your platform's domain will delete your existing SEO and social sharing data, which will need to be re-added.
{% endhint %}
