CleanCloud's hosted websites include a complimentary domain (e.g., mylaundry.cleancloud.site). For a professional and personalized touch, you can connect your own domain (e.g., mydrycleaner.com) to your hosted website.
Why Connect Your Own Domain?
Connecting your domain allows you to:
Remove the
.cleancloud.sitesuffix.Maintain full control over your domain while benefiting from CleanCloud's hosting.
Create a professional online presence for your business.
🪄 Tip: Already own a domain? Easily link it to your CleanCloud website. If not, consider purchasing a domain from providers like GoDaddy, Squarespace, or Namecheap for seamless integration.
Connecting Your Custom Domain to Your CleanCloud Website
Step 1: Associate Your Domain in CleanCloud
Log in to your CleanCloud account.
Navigate to Settings > Admin > Hosted Website.
Click Settings > Domain.
Enter your domain name without the www prefix.
Example: Enter
example.cominstead ofwww.example.com
Click Associate.
Your domain is now linked to your website within CleanCloud. The next step is to update your DNS settings with your domain provider.
Step 2: Update Your DNS Settings
Log in to your domain provider (e.g. GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, Squarespace). For specific GoDaddy set-up, please follow the steps here.

A | @ | 188.93.149.83 |
A | www | 188.93.149.83 |
Then, Save your changes.
Please note that your domain provider may already have some DNS records configured by default. These records may need to be removed before adding the records above. Please refer to the video tutorial above for an example of how this can be done.

Not Sure Where You Purchased Your Domain? Use WHOIS Lookup: Visit public domain registries like WHOIS to check information about your domain registrar.
Remove the CleanCloud Site from Google Indexing
Once your custom domain is connected and working correctly, you can prevent Google from indexing the cleancloud.site version of your website.
This helps avoid duplicate content appearing in search results and ensures search engines focus on your custom domain instead.
Confirm that your custom domain is connected and your website is accessible.
Navigate to Admin > Hosted Website.
Go to Settings and locate the Index on Google setting.
Click Remove Index on CC Site.
Google may take some time to process this change. During this period, the cleancloud.site version of your website may still appear in search results temporarily.
No SSL Certificate Required
CleanCloud provides a free SSL certificate for your hosted website. There’s no need to purchase one separately.

To add your own Privacy Policy and Terms & Conditions, you’ll need to set up a CleanCloud-hosted website.
