Connect domain
The DNS change is yours to make at your provider, and we cannot see it from here — so this page tells you what we will do, and asks you for the one thing we cannot find out on our own.
0. Before you touch anything
This environment is not serving yet. Status reads , and no primary domain is set. If you point your domain here before the site is working, what you will see is a broken page — and it will look like a DNS mistake when it is not.
Open the site at its platform address first. That address reaches this site wherever your DNS points, so it costs you nothing to check.
Environment status: .
Before you go on, take a copy of the whole records list as it stands now. Most providers have an export or download zone file option. If yours does not, screenshot the list — every row, not only the one you are about to change.
We ask even though you said there is no email here, because this is the answer people most often get wrong in good faith. Mail run by a big provider does not look like email in a DNS panel — it looks like two rows called MX. If it turns out there was mail after all, that copy is the only thing that gets it back.
Be plain about what it is worth: it is weaker than writing the records down here. We never see it, we cannot hand it back to you, and we will not know whether you took it. It is worth asking for because it costs nothing and it does not depend on the answer above being right.
Sign in to your DNS provider, open this domain’s records, and copy the MX rows across. Also copy any TXT row that starts v=spf1, or that your mail provider told you to add.
We store exactly what you type and nothing else. We do not check it, correct it, or know whether it is complete — we cannot see your provider from here. It is your note to yourself, kept where you can find it at 2am.
The records to add are below, once you have answered the email question above. We are not hiding them to be difficult — once you have them, the next thing you do is go and edit a live zone, and that is the wrong moment to start thinking about mail.
Change only the one record below. Leave every other record exactly as it is — in particular your MX rows and any TXT row starting v=spf1. Those are your email.
If your provider offers a one-click option along the lines of “point this domain at a website”, do not use it. Some of them replace the whole zone and take your mail records with it. Add the record by hand.
Do not change nameservers. Nothing here asks you to, and doing it moves every record — mail included — somewhere else.
1. Add a record at your domain provider
This part is yours to do, wherever you bought the domain — Ayuda has no access to it. Sign in there, find its DNS records, and add one of the following.
Changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to a day to take effect — that wait is your provider’s, not ours.
The A record goes on the bare domain — the same name your MX rows sit under. That is where zone-wide shortcuts do their damage. If your provider supports CNAME on www, that route touches less.
Optional, and only useful if you do it first: lower the TTL on the record you are about to change to five minutes, wait for the old TTL to pass, then make the change. If something goes wrong, undoing it takes minutes instead of a day. Do not change the TTL on your MX rows.
2. Tell us the domain, and we’ll finish it
Once the record is in, send us the domain. We add it to this site and get the HTTPS certificate issued for it — both are ours to do, and neither needs anything further from you.
We can’t see your provider’s settings from here, so we won’t know you’ve made the change until you tell us.
Where it’s up to
At your provider: check the record is on the name we asked for, that it points where the card above says, and that nothing else in the list moved when you added it. Then tell us you have been back.
This does not tell us your record is now right — we still cannot see your DNS — and it does not retry anything by itself. What it does is stop this sitting still while you wait for us and we wait for you.
