Summary: Step-by-step guide to connecting your own domain. Works with any registrar.
Connecting a custom domain
Custom domains are a Pro feature. You need an active Pro subscription to use this feature.
Prerequisites
An active Orivan Pro subscription
A domain you own (from any registrar: GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, etc.)
Step 1: Add your domain in Orivan
1
Go to Dashboard → Settings → Custom Domain2
Enter your domain (e.g., yourname.com or links.yourname.com)3
Click "Add Domain"Step 2: Add the DNS record
Log into your domain registrar and add a CNAME record:
| Field | Value |
|---|---|
| Type | CNAME |
| Name | @ (or www, or your subdomain) |
| Value | cname.Orivan.io |
| TTL | Auto or 3600 |
Step 3: Wait for propagation
DNS changes typically propagate within 5–30 minutes, but can take up to 48 hours.
Step 4: SSL certificate
Once your domain is verified, Orivan automatically issues a free SSL certificate. Your page will be available at https://yourname.com.
Troubleshooting
If your domain isn't connecting after 48 hours:
Double-check the CNAME record is correct
Make sure there's no conflicting A record
