Custom Domain

This is how a user is to setup a custom domain & how to use ssl. Same applies to admin.

Setting a custom URL is a feature that allows you to attach your domain name to your already setup Bio. (Note: This feature can be available depending on your plan) You can set a custom domain for your page, so instead of king.bio.test or bio.test/king you can have king.com or links.king.com Follow the steps below to configure your custom domain. Step 1 Within your DNS provider’s administration panel, you need to add/edit your (sub)domain to point to our site and you may use either of the two options below:

  • Using CNAME Create a CNAME record with the host as your new subdomain and configure value as your default Bio URL or king.bio.test or bio.test/king. In this example, the host would be links.king.com and the value would be king.bio.test or bio.test/king.

  • OR Using A Record Create an A record with the host as your new subdomain and the value as this IP address 127.0.0.1. In this example, the host would be links.king.com and the value would be 127.0.0.1.

(Note: Please use the CNAME option if the A Record option doesnt work) Step 2 Login to your account, and go to Settings, navigate to Custom Domain, type in your custom domain (in the example above, links.king.com), and then click Set Domain. We’ll validate your custom domain to ensure you didn’t miss Step 1 above and update your Disha Pages URL. Your page will instantly be available via your custom domain name. Setting up Custom Domain with SSL For Bio that are being published using the default URL (i.e. bio-name.bio.test or bio.test/bio-name ), no configuration is needed to support https. For custom domains, we add http:// by default, and because of required domain ownership verification for SSL issuance, we don’t offer https:// for custom domains. However, you may enable SSL for your custom domain at the DNS level by using a service like Cloudflare. Log in or create an account with CloudFlare and navigate to your dashboard:

  • Make sure you’ve set up your CloudFlare nameservers

  • Go to the DNS section on the dashboard for your CloudFlare site and create a CNAME record per step 1 above.

  • Now go to Crypto section and make sure SSL is set to Full.

  • Additionally on the same page, enable Always use HTTPS

  • Update your URL in Step 2 to https:// and save.

(Note: if you have the free plan with CloudFlare, it can take up to 24 hours to issue your certificate.)
