Custom Domains
Connect your own domain name to your Redo site for a professional web presence.
Don't have a domain yet?
You can purchase domains from registrars like Namecheap, Google Domains, GoDaddy, or Cloudflare. Prices typically start around $10-15/year.
What You'll Set Up
When you connect a custom domain, you're telling the internet "when someone types my-business.com, show them my Redo site." This involves two steps:
- Add your domain in Redo — Tell us which domain you own
- Update your DNS records — Tell your domain registrar to point to Redo
Step 1: Add Your Domain in Redo
- Open your site in Redo and go to Settings
- Click the Domains tab
- Click Add Domain
- Enter your domain name (e.g.,
mybusiness.comorwww.mybusiness.com) - Click Add
After adding your domain, you'll see the DNS records you need to create. Keep this page open — you'll need these values in the next step.
Step 2: Configure Your DNS Records
You'll need to add DNS records at your domain registrar (where you bought your domain). The exact steps vary by provider, but the records are the same.
Required DNS Records
| Type | Name/Host | Value/Points to | Purpose |
|---|---|---|---|
CNAME | www | sites.redopage.com | www.yourdomain.com |
A | @ | 76.76.21.21 | yourdomain.com (root) |
Important: Check Your Dashboard
The IP address shown above is an example. Always use the exact values shown in your Redo dashboard, as they may differ.
Registrar-Specific Instructions
Select your domain registrar for step-by-step instructions:
After Updating DNS
Wait for Propagation
DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours to fully propagate across the internet. During this time:
- Your site may work for some visitors but not others
- You might see your old site or an error page intermittently
- This is normal — just wait it out
Pro tip
Use dnschecker.org to see if your DNS changes have propagated worldwide.
SSL Certificate
Once your DNS is configured, we automatically provision a free SSL certificate for your domain. This usually happens within minutes of DNS propagation completing. Your site will be accessible via https:// with the padlock icon.
Setting Your Primary Domain
If you have multiple domains connected (e.g., both mybusiness.com and www.mybusiness.com), you can set one as your primary domain. Visitors to other domains will be redirected to your primary.
- Go to Settings → Domains
- Click the star icon next to the domain you want as primary
- Other connected domains will automatically redirect to this one
Removing a Domain
To disconnect a domain from your site:
- Go to Settings → Domains
- Click the trash icon next to the domain you want to remove
- Confirm the removal
After removing a domain, you should also delete the DNS records at your registrar to avoid confusion.
