Domain
Use your own web address
Overview
Connect a domain you own.
A custom domain needs the Hobby plan or higher. Once it is connected, customers can reach your site at your own address. Your original address keeps working.
Connecting a domain
One DNS record at your registrar.
Steps
- 1
Open Advanced, then Domain.
- 2
Enter your domain without https://, for example shop.yourdomain.com, and add it.
- 3
Sign in at your domain registrar and open the DNS settings for that domain.
- 4
Add a CNAME record. The Name is the first part of your domain (for example shop) and the Value is cname.vercel-dns.com. The page shows these values with copy buttons.
- 5
Return to the Domain page and choose Check status. It shows Awaiting DNS propagation until the record is visible, then Domain verified.
Fields
| Field | Description | Status |

| Domain | The address you want customers to use. Subdomains such as shop.yourdomain.com work best with a CNAME record. | required |
The address you want customers to use. Subdomains such as shop.yourdomain.com work best with a CNAME record.
DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to many hours to spread. Check status again later if it has not verified.
If your registrar already has a record with the same name, replace it rather than adding a second one.
