Connect a domain
Connect the www version of your domain in Consistency, point DNS at connect.consistency.site, then verify the result and wait for SSL to finish provisioning.
Before you start
Custom domains require a paid plan. You can connect a domain you already own, or buy one through Consistency, then finish the DNS setup for the hostname you want to publish.
Add the domain in Consistency
Open Settings, go to your domain settings, and enter the hostname you want to connect, typically www.yourdomain.com.
Point DNS to Consistency
At your DNS provider, create a CNAME record for www that points to connect.consistency.site. Do not point www at the main site domain directly.
Verify the connection
After DNS propagates, return to Consistency and verify the domain. Once the connection is valid, Consistency handles the live routing for the site.
Wait for SSL provisioning
After the domain is connected, SSL is provisioned automatically. Give it time to finish before you judge the final live result on the custom domain.
Handle the root domain separately
If you want yourdomain.com to resolve too, set the root domain to forward or redirect to https://www.yourdomain.com. The connected hostname itself should stay on the www CNAME.
Verification is stuck
Check for an old A record or another conflicting record on <code>www</code>. DNS changes can also take time to propagate before verification succeeds.
SSL is not ready yet
SSL is automatic, but it is not always instant. If the domain verifies correctly, give the certificate more time to provision before retrying.
The root domain does not load
The root domain is a separate step. Redirect or forward <code>yourdomain.com</code> to <code>https://www.yourdomain.com</code> after the <code>www</code> hostname is connected.
