Purchase a domain of your choosing. If you already have a domain and you’d like to use a sub-domain (e.g. chat.yourdomain.com), proceed to Step 2.
Set the following DNS records on the new domain. Please make sure to only have one unique record for each name and type combination (i.e. only one A record with @ name).
For root-level domains:
If you’ll be hosting on a root-level domain (e.g. yourdomain.com / www.yourdomain.com), use the following example:
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| CNAME | www | cname.vercel-dns.com |
| A | @ | 76.76.21.21 |
For sub-domains:
If you’d like to use a subdomain different from www , e.g. chat.yourdomain.com, use the following example:
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| CNAME | your-subdomain | cname.vercel-dns.com |
The instructions on how to do this depend on your domain host, which you should be able to find in their documentation. Here are some common ones (feel free to reach out for help here if you need):
