Connect yourown domain

You can show your page at a domain you own, like jo.com or links.jo.com. Your link stays yours, even if you leave Hiyaly one day, and your hiyaly.com address keeps working too.

Connect your domain

1. In the editor, go to Settings › Profile › Your own domain.
2. Type your domain, like jo.com or links.jo.com.
3. Click Connect.

You'll see a short list of numbered DNS records to add. Each one has its Type, Name and Value, with a Copy button beside them.

Add the DNS records

Sign in where you bought your domain (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare and so on) and open its DNS settings. Add each record exactly as Hiyaly shows it.

Always copy the value from Hiyaly rather than from another guide, as it can differ between domains.

You might also see a TXT record titled Prove it's yours. It's needed when the domain is already set up with another service, to show it's really yours. Add it too.

Check it's working

DNS can take up to a day to update. Hiyaly checks each time you open the section, or you can click Check now. While it's waiting, the section shows Waiting for DNS. Once it's Live, your page works at your domain with HTTPS, and search engines see it as your page's address.

We'll email you when it goes live, unless you've turned off Page health emails.

Add www too

If you connect a root domain like jo.com, we'll also show a step called Catch www too. Add that CNAME record and www.jo.com sends visitors on to jo.com. Your page works without it, but it's worth adding, as people often type www.

Change or remove your domain

Each page can have one domain. To use a different one, click Remove, confirm, then connect the new one. Your page stops showing at the old domain straight away.

If your page's plan ends, your domain stops showing your page until you choose a plan again. The DNS records can stay in place.
