How do I setup a custom domain?
This article will give you a general overview on how to setup a custom domain on your Mixo website:
-
Log into your Mixo account dashboard
-
Click on the Custom Domain section and enter the domain name you have purchased (on GoDaddy, NameCheap etc)
-
Here you will find 3 records (1 CNAME and 2 TXT records) provided by Mixo. These need to be added into your registrars DNS settings.
-
Log into your registrar’s account page and on the registrar’s DNS settings page, add the 3 records (1 CNAME and 2 TXT records) provided by Mixo
-
Save the changes and wait for the records to propagate (they can take up to an hour to refresh)
-
Go back to Custom Domain section on Mixo and refresh the records.
-
Once all records have been changed to “Active”, you must Publish your site to ensure the latest code points to your site.
-
Congratulations, your domain is now connected to your Mixo website!
FAQ
-
Do you have an IP address I can connect an A record to? Our services dynamically create a subdomain for each site, there is no IP you can map to on our end. If you need to map an A record, you will need to use a domain provider that supports ANAME records (e.g. Cloudflare, DNSimple, DNS Made Easy, easyDNS, PointDNS, etc).
-
Can I connect to your nameservers? No. You will need use a domain providers name servers and then host your DNS records there.
