Hello,

I viewed your post about Netlify on LinkedIn and I was wondering if you could share how to add a custom domain for free on Netlify. Eg: www.mydomain.com without having 'netlify' on domain.

Thank you!

Login :

  1. Login to the Netlify account
  2. Go to your site of which you want to set the domain name
  3. Click on the domain tab setting

Domain Setting Tab :

  1. Under Domain setting tab. Check the section 'Custom domains'. Click on Add Custom Domain.
  2. Add your custom domain name. It will ask "Are you the owner?" click yes.
  3. After adding the domain, it will redirect back to the domain setting screen. Now, you will be seeing 2 entries of your domain name. Check screenshot - Netlify Setting
  4. Click on the primary domain's DNS configuration. Copy the IP Address with 'Alternative: point A record '
  5. Click on the three dots next to the DNS Configuration text. A flyout will come and click on setup DNS

Netlify DNS setting:

  1. It will take you to the new screen where it asks to add your domain name and verify it.
  2. Once verified, it will take you on step2 for the DNS setting. Click on the button.
  3. A form will come and in that add, the IPAddress copied at step 7. Click on the button and verify it
  4. Your domain is set and live to use.
