Connect a domain you already own
Point a domain from any registrar at your Artistplus site with two DNS records. SSL is automatic once it verifies.
Already own yourname.com at GoDaddy, Namecheap, Google Domains, or anywhere else? Keep it there — connecting it to your Artistplus site is two DNS records. Needs the Opener plan or higher
Connect it#
Start the connection
Open Domains in the dashboard, choose to connect an existing domain, and enter it.
Add the records we show you
We display the exact DNS records your domain needs — typically an A record for the bare domain and a CNAME for www, with the exact values to paste. Add them in your registrar's DNS settings, leaving other records (like your email's MX records) alone.
Wait for verification
We check your DNS automatically. The domain shows as pending until the records are visible; that's usually minutes, sometimes up to 48 hours depending on your DNS provider.
SSL happens by itself
Once verified, the https certificate is issued automatically. No certificates to buy or upload — ever.
Checking on it#
The Domains page shows each domain's live status. If it sits at pending longer than expected, use its verify action to re-check on demand — and see Fix common DNS issues for the usual suspects.
