How to connect your custom domain via CNAME mapping to your platform?

When you sign up on Graphy, you get a default Graphy sub-domain.

However, you can connect your custom root domain or sub-domain with your platform.

A domain name is a URL that appears in the address bar of your web browser. In order to create a custom domain, you need to link your domain to your DNS provider.

Read and implement the steps below before you click on verify 

Your custom domain will successfully be linked and you will receive an email for the same ina few hours by Graphy! 

Connect your custom domain via CNAME mapping

• Create CNAME - www
• Value: graphyssl.com
  

Domain Forwarding rule will apply here. It means all the searches without 'www' will also be redirected to the root domain.

In your DNS dashboard, add a forwarding rule for the root domain (yourdomain.com) to www.yourdomain.com

• Source URL: yourdomain.com/*
• Add a setting: forwarding URL
• Select status code: 301 - permanent Redirect
• Enter destination URL: https://www.yourdomain.com/*

Scenario 2:

learn.yourdomain.com
You can have the root domain pointed towards your other website. For your platform, you can create a subdomain.

1. Create CNAME - learn
2. Value: graphyssl.com

For the root domain set the CNAME as below

Name: yourdomain.com or @

Value: graphyssl.com

Domain Forwarding rule will apply here. It means all the searches with 'www' will also be redirected to the root domain.

In your DNS dashboard, add a forwarding rule for the root domain (www.yourdomain.com) to yourdomain.com

• Source URL : www.yourdomain.com/*
• Add a Setting: forwarding URL
