Setting up your custom domain

Every published site gets a free subdomain (yourname.orbixapp.com). To use your own domain, point it at Orbix with a couple of DNS records.

Before you start

• Your site must be published at least once.
• You need access to your domain registrar (where you bought the domain — e.g. GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare).

Connect the domain

1. 1Open your site, then go to Domain Settings.
2. 2Enter the domain you want to use (root domain like example.com or a subdomain like www.example.com).
3. 3Orbix shows the DNS records to add. For a root domain you'll add an A record; for a subdomain you'll add a CNAME record.
4. 4Log in to your registrar's DNS settings and add the records exactly as shown.
5. 5Return to Orbix and click Verify. DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours to propagate.

HTTPS / SSL

Once your domain verifies, an SSL certificate is issued automatically so your site loads securely over https. No action needed on your part.
