If you’re using Sheetany to build your website, you may want to attach a custom domain instead of using the default system domain.

The process is straightforward, and here’s a step-by-step guide on how you can set up a custom domain for your website, whether it’s a main domain (e.g., domain.com) or a subdomain (e.g., blog.domain.com), along with how to create DNS records at popular domain providers like Namecheap, GoDaddy, and point them to Sheetany’s IP address.

1. Create DNS Records Pointing to Sheetany’s IP

First, you need to know that all the domains and subdomains you use will need to point to Sheetany’s IP address. The IP address for Sheetany is:

Sheetany IP: 165.232.148.235

Now, let’s go through the steps to create the necessary DNS records.

2. Configuring DNS on Namecheap

If you’re using Namecheap as your domain provider, follow these steps:

1. Log into your Namecheap account.
2. Go to Domain List and select the domain you want to configure.
3. Click on Manage next to your domain.
4. Go to the Advanced DNS section.
5. Add an A record:

• A Record: To point the main domain domain.com to Sheetany’s IP address, add a new A record.

• Host: @
• Value: 165.232.148.235

• If you want to use the subdomain blog.domain.com, add an A record:

• Host: blog
• Value: 165.232.148.235

6. Save your changes and wait a few hours for the DNS to update.

3. Configuring DNS on GoDaddy

If you’re using GoDaddy as your domain provider, here’s how you can configure it:

1. Log into your GoDaddy account.
2. Go to My Products and click on DNS next to the domain you want to configure.
3. Scroll down to the Records section and click Add to create a new record.
4. Add an A record:

• A Record: To point the main domain domain.com to Sheetany’s IP address:

• Host: @
• Points to: 165.232.148.235

• If you want to use the subdomain blog.domain.com, add an A record:

• Host: blog
• Points to: 165.232.148.235

5. Save your changes and wait for DNS to update.

4. Check and Update Your Website

After you’ve configured the DNS on Namecheap or GoDaddy, make sure to check your website to ensure the domain is pointing correctly and is working properly.

Keep in mind that DNS updates may take some time to propagate globally, so don’t worry if everything doesn’t work right away.

5. Sheetany Automatically Provides SSL HTTPS for Your Website

One of the great benefits of using Sheetany is the SSL feature. After you’ve completed the custom domain setup for your website, Sheetany will automatically provide a free SSL certificate and configure HTTPS for your website.

Using a custom domain for your website not only adds professionalism but also offers many other benefits, such as:

• Increased Trust: Users tend to trust websites with a custom domain over free subdomains.
• SEO Boost: Search engines value relevant and memorable domains, which can help improve your site’s ranking.
