Your creator website

Connect your own domain name

Point your personal domain (like yourchannel.com) to your DCAST creator page.

Before you start

  • You own a domain name (purchased from a domain registrar like Namecheap, GoDaddy, etc.).
  • You have access to the DNS settings for that domain.
  • You are on a plan that includes the custom domain feature.

Steps

  1. 1
    The tab row reads Template, Navigation, Hero Image, Slider, Colors & Fonts, Social Media, SEO Settings, Content Blocks, Site Content, Commerce, Domain. Open Domain.
  2. 2
    Enter your domain name in the field — for example yourchannel.com.
  3. 3
    DCAST will show you a DNS record to add — usually a CNAME pointing to DCAST servers.
  4. 4
    Log in to your domain registrar and open the DNS management panel.
  5. 5
    Add the CNAME record exactly as shown in DCAST.
  6. 6
    Save the DNS change.
  7. 7
    Return to DCAST and click Verify — DNS changes can take up to 24 hours to propagate.
  8. 8
    Once verified, your DCAST creator page is accessible at your own domain.

Expected result

Visitors who type your domain name in a browser land on your DCAST creator page.

Common problems

Verification keeps failing.

DNS changes take time. Wait a few hours and try again. Use a DNS lookup tool to confirm the CNAME is live.

My domain shows a blank page.

Make sure your public site is published in Site Customization before connecting a custom domain.

I do not know how to edit DNS records.

Search for "[your registrar] how to add CNAME record" — every registrar has a guide for this.
