Connect

Customers connect their own domain by signing in to their registrar.

Your customer types in their domain, signs in at their registrar and approves. BrandSSL writes the records your platform specifies. The whole thing takes about a minute, and nobody edits DNS records by hand.

From typed domain to live connection, in four short steps.

They enter their domain

Inside your app, your customer types the domain they want to use, like shop.acme.com.

We detect the registrar

BrandSSL works out where the domain is registered and prepares the exact records your platform needs.

They sign in and approve

Your customer logs in to their registrar account and approves the change.

Records applied, domain live

BrandSSL writes the records at the registrar and the domain starts resolving to your platform.

Works where your customers already are.

Connect supports Namecheap, GoDaddy, Hostinger and more, and new registrars are added regularly.

Domains registered anywhere else still connect the classic way. Your customer adds the records your platform specifies, and everything downstream works exactly the same.

Provider names and logos are used only to identify the services they refer to. Their use does not imply any affiliation, sponsorship, or endorsement.

The custom domain step is where onboarding stalls.

Fewer abandoned setups

Signing in is familiar to every customer. The ones who would have given up at the DNS instructions now finish setup on the first try.

Fewer support tickets

Wrong record types, typos and stale caches generate a steady stream of tickets. When the system writes the records, that work goes away.

Right the first time

You specify the records once and every connection applies them exactly as written, for every customer.
