# Custom domain

## How to connect a custom domain to your project on Centox:

First go to **Domain** under **Settings.**\
From here enter the Domain you want to link to your project.\
Here you click on **+ Setup Domain**\
\
If you want to add a subdomain such as "forms.yourdomain.com" or "apply.yourdomain.com" type in the full domain.\
So if you want to link "forms.yourdomain.com" type in "forms.yourdomain.com" for the field.\
If you want to link your domain without a subdomain, you can do that to.

For demonstrating, we have typed in "**forum.unicmc.net**"

## How to connect the DNS settings to your domain:

We always recommend using Cloudflare for your DNS settings, it's completely free and comes with a lot of benefits. Therefore, this guide is based on using Cloudflare to manage your DNS.

On your Cloudflare DNS fields, you have to create one CNAME record, and two TXT records.\
You have to name them exactly as the fields on Centox says.

## Here are pictures of how we enter our DNS settings to demonstrate:

## Final step for making it work:

The final step is to wait **5-15 minutes**, and then click the **Refresh button.**\
When your domain is connected, it will turn <mark style="color:green;">green</mark> with a checkmark.

You can now enter your project by using the domain you have connected.

## Is using Cloudflare really a requirement?

It is not a requirement to use Cloudflare. We have just experienced that some DNS providers make it harder to connect a domain, as they do not offer the ability to proxy your settings to the same extent as Cloudflare. You are welcome to try it on your current platform, but we can't guarantee it will always work.
