Connect your domain

Connect your domain with Another provider

These steps are the same almost everywhere - only the labels differ a little. Find your DNS settings, add one record, and paste in the values Droply shows you.

• 5 quick steps
• About 2 minutes
• You only do this once
• HTTPS is automatic

The record you are adding

Droply shows your exact record on the Domains page of your dashboard. It looks like this (copy your own values from there):

Steps in Another provider

The words in bold are exactly what to look for and click in Another provider.

1. Sign in to wherever you bought or manage your domain (your registrar or DNS host).
2. Find the DNS settings, often called DNS, DNS Records, Manage DNS, or Zone file.
3. Click Add record (or Add New Record) and choose the Type Droply shows you (CNAME or TXT).
4. Put the Name in the host/name field and paste the Value Droply shows you (the one above) into the value/target field.
5. Save the record and wait a few minutes.

Good to know

• If the provider already fills in your domain, enter only the part before it (e.g. blog), not the whole thing.
• Use @ (or leave the name blank) when the record is for your root domain.
• Most providers do not allow a CNAME on the root domain. If yours refuses, point a subdomain like www instead, or contact us and we will help.
• DNS changes can take a few minutes to a few hours to spread across the internet.

After you save

That is the only step on your side. DNS changes take a few minutes to spread across the internet (sometimes up to an hour). You do not need to do anything else: Droply checks automatically and turns your domain live the moment it is ready, with HTTPS set up and renewed for you forever. Grab a coffee and come back in a bit.
