When you publish your site, you probably want to use your own domain instead of using the default Onepage domain. This is easy to do but requires you to own your own domain. In this article, we will show you how to connect your custom domain to your Onepage site.

Before you can connect your domain to your Onepage site, you will need your own domain. If you don't already have one, you can purchase one from a domain provider of your choice. There are many providers out there, so just choose one that suits your needs and budget.
​

At Onepage, we now exclusively recommend the A‑Record method for connecting your custom domain. This method involves pointing your domain’s A‑record directly to Onepage’s IP address, which establishes a direct and reliable connection. Since you continue to manage your DNS records with your domain provider, services like email remain fully operational.
​
Detailed instructions for the A‑Record method are available on our dedicated article here:

If you only wish to connect a subdomain, such as "info.yourdomain.com" the CNAME method is the correct choice. With this approach, your main domain and all other DNS records remain with your domain provider, ensuring that email and other services continue to function without interruption. Although this method requires a bit more configuration (for instance, adding a CNAME record and possibly setting up a redirect), it is best suited for subdomain connections.

The Nameserver method transfers full DNS management to Onepage by having you change your domain’s nameserver settings to point to our servers. However, this method is generally not recommended, especially if your domain is also used for emails. The only situation in which you might consider using the Nameserver method is if you need to manage all DNS entries directly within Onepage. In that case, be aware that email services might be disrupted temporarily until you reconfigure the necessary DNS records (such as MX, TXT, or SPF).

​

• A‑Record Method (Recommended):
 Ideal for connecting your main domain (e.g. yourdomain.com) with a fast, reliable connection while keeping your email and other DNS settings intact.
​

• CNAME Method (For Subdomains):
 Best for connecting a subdomain (e.g. info.yourdomain.com) while preserving the primary DNS configuration at your domain provider.
​

• Nameserver Method (Not Recommended):
 Only consider if you require centralized DNS management within Onepage and are prepared to reconfigure email-related settings accordingly.
