Set Up a Custom Domain

Login account > Websites page > click on the website settings > select Domain > enter the domain you want to set up.

Set up your custom domain to use with your website.
To use a custom domain, you need to set up a DNS record for your domain.

Set a Virtual Path after SSL activation

After your custom domain is connected and its status is ACTIVE_SSL, open the website settings and enter a value in the Virtual Path field.

  • The Virtual Path is appended to the custom domain URL. For example, example.com/blog.
  • The value is converted to lowercase automatically while typing.
  • The field is unavailable until the custom domain has an active SSL certificate.
  • Custom domains are not available on the free plan. Upgrade the plan before configuring this option.
  • Published page links use /{path}/{fileName} without an extension by default. Existing /{path}/{fileName}.html URLs remain supported.

Choose one of the following methods:

Single custom domains

For a single custom domain, you can point a single A record at the IP address below.
For example: yourdomain.com or www.yourdomain.com

  • Record Type: A
  • Name: @
  • Address: 137.66.56.110
  • Record Type: TXT
  • Name: @
  • Value: { value }

Specific subdomains

You need to create a separate A record for your custom subdomain.
For example: blog

  • Record Type: A
  • Name: {your custom name}（EX: www , blog）
  • Address: 137.66.56.110
  • Record Type: TXT
  • Name: {your custom name}（EX: www , blog）
  • Value: { value }

FAQ

Common questions about custom domain setup.

  • Q: How do I connect a custom domain to VIXNODE?

    Create DNS A and TXT records for your domain, and point the A record to the IP shown in the settings page.

  • Q: What is the difference between root domain and subdomain setup?

    Root domain uses @ as the record name, while subdomain uses a custom name like blog with separate A/TXT records.

  • Q: What should I check when configuring custom domain DNS?

    Remove conflicting A records for the same host and make sure both A and TXT values exactly match the provided instructions.

  • Q: How do I set a Virtual Path after enabling a custom domain?

    After the custom domain status becomes ACTIVE_SSL, enter a lowercase path in the Virtual Path field in website settings and save it. The path is appended to the custom domain.

  • Q: Can I omit .html from a published page URL on a custom domain?

    Published links use the extensionless URL by default. Existing .html URLs remain supported.
