Custom Domain Setup

Connect your own domain to your myEPK page. You'll need to add two DNS records at your domain registrar: a CNAME record for routing and a TXT record for domain verification and SSL.

What you'll need

  • • A CNAME record pointing to cname.vercel-dns.com
  • • A TXT record for verification — the exact name and value are shown in your dashboard settings

Troubleshooting

DNS changes aren't taking effect

DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours, though it typically completes within a few minutes. Use a tool like whatsmydns.net to check propagation status worldwide.

Domain shows "Pending" after adding DNS records

Wait a few minutes for propagation, then click "Verify DNS Configuration" in your settings. If it still shows pending, double-check that the TXT record name and value match exactly what's shown in your dashboard.

SSL certificate not issued

Vercel issues SSL certificates automatically once DNS is verified. If using Cloudflare, make sure the CNAME record is set to "DNS only" (grey cloud), not "Proxied" (orange cloud). Cloudflare's proxy intercepts the SSL challenge.

Root domain (no www) not working

Some registrars don't support CNAME records on root domains. Options: use a www. subdomain instead, switch to a provider that supports ALIAS/ANAME records (like Cloudflare, Route 53, or Porkbun), or set up domain forwarding from your root to www.
