Your site always has a Vizitka address. On a plan that includes a custom
domain, the Domains screen can also connect one domain you own and set up HTTPS
for it. If your plan doesn't include one, the screen says so, and a domain
already connected stops answering until the plan covers it again.

Enter the hostname you want to use. Vizitka gives you one CNAME record to add
at your domain registrar. DNS changes usually appear within minutes, but can
take several hours. Use **Check DNS now** after adding the record.

We recommend managing your DNS with a provider such as Cloudflare and keeping
its proxy or CDN enabled where supported. This keeps traffic behind the
provider's network instead of sending visitors directly to an origin. Always
use the CNAME target shown by Vizitka; do not create an A or AAAA record that
points directly to a Vizitka server.

If your registrar does not allow a CNAME at the root of a domain, use its ALIAS
or ANAME option with the same value. If it offers neither, connect a `www`
hostname and configure the registrar to redirect the root domain to it.

When the domain is active, Vizitka serves it over HTTPS and renews the
certificate automatically. The connected domain becomes the site's main
address, and its Vizitka address redirects there.

A site can have one custom domain. Remove the current one before connecting a
different one. Removing it does not remove the permanent Vizitka address.
