Custom domain

Point your domain at Fronty, and the certificate takes care of itself.

Step-by-step documentation Connect a custom domain, HTTPS, and business email

A site that lives at a builder's subdomain is a demo. Connecting your own domain is what makes it a business address — and it is a five-minute job that people put off for months because DNS is intimidating.

Add the domain in Fronty and it gives you the exact records to add, with a copy button beside each one. Paste them in at your registrar and Fronty watches for them to appear. When they do, the site is live at your address and the HTTPS certificate is issued and renewed for you — there is nothing to buy, install or remember.

What you get

  • Your domain or a subdomain — the apex, or www, or something like shop. if the main site lives elsewhere.
  • HTTPS, automatically. Issued on connection and renewed before it expires.
  • A status you can read. Pending, verified, or exactly which record is missing — instead of a page that just refuses to load.
  • Hosting included. No separate host to buy, no files to upload.
  • Email left alone. Connecting a domain does not disturb an existing mailbox — see business email.

How to do it

  1. Open the website's settings and add your domain.
  2. Copy the records Fronty shows you into your registrar's DNS page.
  3. Wait for the status to go green — usually minutes, occasionally hours.
  4. Publish.

What it costs

Custom domains are on the paid plans; you buy the domain from a registrar, and hosting and the certificate are included. See the pricing page.
