Connect your own domain

Your site first goes live on a Ulakom subdomain (yournews.ulakom.com). You can connect your own domain at any time.

Where do I add the domain?

1. Go to Websites at the bottom left and click Manage on the site card.
2. Open Subscription in the site menu and scroll to the Domain section at the bottom (“Connect a custom domain to your site”).
3. Click Manage Domain, add your domain and follow the steps on screen.

Once connected, the domain appears in the same section marked Connected.

Which method?

Nameserver method (root domain)

1. Two nameserver addresses unique to you are shown on screen.
2. In your domain provider’s panel (GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.), replace the nameservers / DNS servers with these two addresses.
3. Return to the dashboard; the status is checked automatically and your site goes live once the domain is active.

Records already in your domain’s DNS (email, verification records, other subdomains) are kept. You manage them under profile menu → Settings → My domains. See My domains and DNS.

CNAME method (subdomain)

Add this record in your domain provider’s DNS management:

The SSL certificate is issued automatically; you don’t need to do anything else.

No domain yet?

You can buy a domain in the dashboard: profile menu → Settings → My domains. DNS for a domain bought this way is set up automatically.
