Custom Domain Setup

3 min read
INFO
Requires Blaze+ plan or above

Connect your own domain so your site lives at yourserver.com instead of yourserver.blazesites.net.


Step 1 — Add your domain

Go to Settings → Domain → + Add Domain and enter your domain:

yourserver.com

Step 2 — Configure DNS

Log in to your domain registrar (Cloudflare, Namecheap, GoDaddy, etc.) and add the following DNS record:

TypeNameValueTTL
CNAME@ or wwwsites.blazesites.netAuto

If your registrar doesn't support CNAME on the root (@), use an A record instead:

TypeNameValueTTL
A@76.76.21.21Auto

Step 3 — Verify

DNS propagation typically takes 1-15 minutes. Blaze Sites checks automatically.

Once verified, your dashboard shows:

✓ yourserver.com — Verified
SSL: Active

SSL certificate

SSL is provisioned automatically within 5 minutes of domain verification. No configuration needed.


www redirect

www.yourserver.com is automatically redirected to yourserver.com (or vice versa, based on your preference in Settings → Domain → Redirect).


Removing a domain

Go to Settings → Domain → Remove. Your site reverts to yourserver.blazesites.net.

TIP
You can change your custom domain for free once a year. Additional changes cost $5 per change.
