By default your site lives at edeck.me/your-folder. Here you can connect it to a domain of your own, such as yourcompany.com. You need to have bought the domain from a provider (registrar) and be able to edit its DNS records.

Step by step

1. Type your domain without https:// or www (for example yourcompany.com) and click Save.
2. The screen shows you three DNS records. Create them in your domain provider’s DNS panel:
   • Verification TXT: proves the domain is yours.
   • A: points your domain to our server.
   • CNAME for www: makes www.yourcompany.com work too.
3. Wait for them to propagate (minutes to a few hours) and click Verify now. You have to wait a few seconds between attempts.
4. Once verified, the server registers your domain and issues its HTTPS certificate. The screen shows the progress of each task; it can take a few minutes.

If it does not verify

• “The TXT record is not visible yet”: DNS has not propagated or the record is mistyped. Wait and try again.
• “The token does not match”: copy the TXT value again exactly as shown.
• The diagnostics show which IP your domain points to today and which nameservers manage it: records must be created at the provider of those nameservers, which is not always where you bought the domain.

Afterwards, generate the sitemap again with your domain.
