Seamlessly add your custom domain to cover the urals.co part of your link alias!

  1. Go to Space & Members → Space Settings → add custom domain and type your domain name.

  2. In DNS provider dashboard, create an A record pointing to 149.248.193.248 IP address. If you already have an A record for that address, please change it and remove any other A, AAAA, or CNAME records for that exact address.

Type

Name

Value

A

urals.dev

149.248.193.248

CNAME

urals.dev

That's it! But please note that full integration may take up to 24 hours after you created an A record in your domain provider's dashboard.

Every DNS provider has their own CNAME / A record instructions, and below you can check the how-tos of the five most popular platforms.
