DNS Configuration Guide

This guide walks you through configuring DNS records to connect your custom domain to your Framekit site.

Understanding DNS Records

DNS (Domain Name System) records tell the internet where to find your website. You'll need to add an A Record to point your domain to Framekit's servers.

A Record Configuration

What You'll Need

• Host/Name: @ (or your subdomain like www)
• Type: A
• Value/Points to: The IP address shown in your Framekit domain settings
• TTL: 3600 (or "1 hour" / "Automatic")

Wait 15-60 minutes (can take up to 48 hours)

Go to Settings > Domains in Framekit

Click "Check Connection"

All status indicators should turn green

Troubleshooting

Still Not Working After 48 Hours?

• Verify there are no conflicting A or CNAME records
• Check for typos in the IP address
