Custom Domain

🔑 Why Use a Custom Domain?

• Brand Recognition – Create a professional identity (cad.yourcommunity.com).

• Easy Access – Members can quickly find your CAD without long or generic links.

• Trust & Professionalism – Reinforce your community’s brand presence.

📖 Setup Guide

Step 1: Add Your Custom Domain

• Navigate to Settings → Custom Domain.

• Enter your desired subdomain (e.g., cad.imperial-solutions.net).

  Do not include http:// or www.

Step 2: Verify Ownership

To verify ownership, you’ll need to add two DNS records with your domain provider:

• The A record points your chosen domain or subdomain to ImperialCAD’s servers.

  • Example: If you enter cad.imperial-solutions.net, then the Name would be cad.

  • If you want to use your root domain (e.g., yourcommunity.com), then the Name may be left blank or @ depending on your registrar.

• The TXT record is generated uniquely for your community. You must copy the exact Name and Value shown in your setup screen. This value is different for each community.

• After saving changes, DNS may take a few minutes (sometimes up to 24 hours) to update.

• Once ready, click Run Verification in your ImperialCAD dashboard.

Step 3: Complete Setup

• Once verified, you’ll see a confirmation screen.

• Click Finish Setup to finalize.

• Your CAD will now be accessible via your custom domain.

⚠️ Troubleshooting

• Verification Failed: Double-check that your DNS records match exactly (no extra spaces).

• Still Not Working? DNS changes can take up to 24–48 hours depending on your provider.

• If issues persist, open a support ticket with your domain details.
