Custom domains
Use your own domain, with HTTPS managed for you. Available on a paid plan.
Connect your domain
Add your domain in the site’s settings. Then open the DNS settings where you manage your domain and add the two records below. DNS records tell browsers where to find your website.
Both mysite.com and www.mysite.com will work. The address you enter in Lovelycode is the main one; the other redirects to it.
Type Name Value
----- ----- --------------------
CNAME @ custom.lovelyco.de
CNAME www custom.lovelyco.de- If your registrar does not allow a CNAME on the root domain (the
@record), use an ALIAS or ANAME record instead. - Do not delete your other DNS records. Your MX records, for instance, are what deliver your email.
Wait for HTTPS to be ready
Once the DNS records are live, we set up your HTTPS certificate and handle future renewals. You may see a browser security warning while setup is still in progress. Wait for it to finish before sharing the domain; your lovelyco.de address is available in the meantime.
Search engines
Your lovelyco.de address keeps working alongside your domain, without redirecting. To tell search engines which address you prefer, add a canonical link in each page’s <head>. Use that page’s full address, for example:
<link rel="canonical" href="https://mysite.com/about">If your subscription ends
Your domain stops pointing at the site, and visitors to it see a security warning. Nothing is deleted and your DNS records stay correct, so subscribing again restores it automatically.
