# Connect a custom domain from Porkbun

Your domain is managed in Porkbun. Log in, open your domain's DNS editor, add the record Droply shows you, and save.

## Steps

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.

## Notes

- **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.
