In this tutorial video, we'll walk you through the steps for connecting a Custom Domain to your Client Galleries. This video will use a GoDaddy domain as an example but the same basic process can be followed for most domain hosts. You will need a paid Client Gallery or Suite plan to connect a custom domain.

The required DNS records for connecting a domain can be found below the video for reference. You can also find all steps and information in our written guide here.

DNS Records

Here are the DNS records covered in the tutorial for easy copy and pasting.

Connecting a subdomain

The most common setup is connecting a subdomain to your galleries which only requires 1 CNAME record. This can be any unique word that comes before your root domain in the URL. In this example, the subdomain is “gallery” which would make the URL: gallery.yourdomain.com

Connecting a root domain (optional)

Alternatively, you can connect your main root domain by itself which requires 1 CNAME record and 2 A records. This means that either yourdomain.com or www.yourdomain.com would both connect to your galleries.
