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 Porkbun

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

1. Go to porkbun.com and log in with your username and password.
2. In the top-right corner click ACCOUNT, then choose Domain Management.
3. Find your domain and click the DNS button under it to open the Manage DNS Records page.
4. Click the Add Record button.
5. Open the Type dropdown and pick the type Droply shows you (CNAME or TXT).
6. In the Host field, type the label Droply gave you (or leave it blank for the root domain).
7. In the Answer/Value field, paste the target Droply shows you (the one above).
8. Leave TTL at its default unless told otherwise.
9. Click the Add button to save, and repeat for any second record.

Good to know

• Host field = label only. If Droply shows blog.yourdomain.com, enter just blog. Porkbun adds your domain.
• For the root domain (your bare domain), leave the Host field empty. Do not type @ or your domain name there.
• Porkbun does not allow a CNAME on the root domain. If Droply asks you to point the bare domain, use the www label, or Porkbun's ALIAS record type for the root.
• A CNAME host must be unique - remove any other record (like an A record) on the exact same Host first.
• Paste the value with no extra spaces and no trailing dot, then double-check it before clicking Add.
• DNS changes can take a few minutes to a few hours to take effect.

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.
