# Custom Domains

Smmall Cloud allows users to assign a custom domain to their profiles. Here's the steps to setting that up. 

### Add your Custom Domain

Go to your [profile page](https://smmall.cloud/me/profile) and scroll to the bottom to the "Custom Domain" section

Enter your desired domain and save the updates. You will see an "Invalid Configuration" warning.

[Add the provided values to your domain's DNS](#configuring-your-dns) as a CNAME record. Once they've been updated, Smmall Cloud will automatically assign a SSL certificate to your domain. There may be a delay in this process while your DNS propagates but it usually happens instantly.

Once your DNS has been updated and SSL issued, you will see a "Valid Configuration" message and all of your files will be served under your custom domain.

## Configuring your DNS

#### 1. Log into your domain provider

This is where you registered your domain (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, Google Domains, etc). (If you're not sure who your domain provider is, you can look it up at [https://who.is](https://who.is/).)

#### **2. Find the DNS settings**

Look for a section called something like:

* “DNS”
* “DNS Management”
* “Zone Editor”
* “Manage DNS”

#### **3. Add a new CNAME record**

Once you're in the DNS settings:

* **Type**: Select `CNAME`
* **Name / Host**: Enter the value provided by Smmall Cloud. Sometimes you will need to entire the full domain like `files.myhost.com`. Sometimes your host will require that you only enter the subdomain portion like `files`&#x20;
* **Value / Points to**: Enter [`cname.vercel-dns.com`](http://cname.vercel-dns.com/)
* **TTL**: Leave this at the default setting (like “1 hour” or “Automatic”)

#### **4. Save the record**

Click the **Save** or **Add Record** button.

#### 5. Wait for it to update

DNS changes can take a few minutes to several hours to go live—usually it’s pretty quick, but it can take up to 24 hours.
