Getting Started

This documentation will guide you through the process required to add a subdomain to your website. To know the whole process, follow all the steps below accordingly.

Add a Subdomain to your website

Follow all the steps below, to add a subdomain to your website:

- Once you are in your website’s Dashboard, click on Custom Domain
- Add the name of the subdomain in the first input field (blog.example.com)
- Copy the IPv4 address (E.g 18.119.18.10) of the A record value
- Click on **Connect Domain**
- Go back to your domain provider’s DNS Setting panel
- Add a new record by clicking on **Add Record**
- The record type should be **A**
- Write the extension’s name in the Name input field (For e.g. ‘blog’ for blog.example.com)
- Paste the IPv4 address that you copied before from your site into the next input field
- `Disable` the Proxy Status
- Save the Record by clicking on **Save**
- Go back to your site, Publish it, and Visit your subdomain
- After visiting your subdomain once, you can go back to the domain provider’s DNS Setting panel and `Enable` the Proxy Status


⚠️ Subdomains are added to another CMS website and won’t work on your existing CMS pages. In short, you can create subdomains from your domain provider’s DNS records, which can be integrated into its own CMS Site.
