Connect your custom domain to EasyWeek

This guide helps you connect your custom domain (like yourbusiness.com) to your EasyWeek website.

Choose How to Connect

• Recommended: Use a CNAME/ALIAS (or ANAME) record to point your domain to eyw.me.
• Fallback: If your DNS provider doesn’t support CNAME/ALIAS for the root domain, use an A record pointing to 138.199.132.88.

In simple terms:
CNAME/ALIAS points your domain to EasyWeek’s system automatically and adapts if servers change.
A record ties your domain to a specific IP but doesn’t adapt to future changes.

Preparation Steps

• Buy a domain (if you don’t have one).
• Decide if you’ll use www or root as primary. (We recommend using www.yourdomain.com and redirecting yourdomain.com to it.)
• Remove old DNS records for the root and “www” to avoid conflicts.
• Sign up for Cloudflare (recommended) and update your domain’s nameservers to Cloudflare.

Set Up DNS Records

🌐 Using Cloudflare (Recommended)

1. Create an account in Cloudflare by link: https://dash.cloudflare.com/sign-up
2. Connect your domain to Cloudflare
3. After connection, In Cloudflare DNS, remove old A or CNAME records for @ and www (if exist).
4. Add a CNAME for root (@):
   – Type: CNAME
   – Name: @ (root)
   – Target: eyw.me
   – Proxy: DNS Only (grey cloud)
5. Add a CNAME for www:
   – Type: CNAME
   – Name: www
   – Target: eyw.me
   – Proxy: DNS Only (grey cloud)
6. Wait for DNS changes to propagate (usually minutes to a few hours).
7. That's all! Contact EasyWeek support team to complete the settings on our side.

🌐 OR other DNS Providers (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap)
