1. Set up CloudFlare

To use a custom domain, it must run through CloudFlare. This service helps protect against DDoS attacks and is free to use.

Buy a domain from CloudFlare or set up CloudFlare for an existing domain.

If CloudFlare isn’t an option, consider self-hosting the community website.

2. Configure SSL

In CloudFlare, navigate to SSL/TLS > Overview and set the SSL mode to Full.

3. Set up DNS

Decide whether your domain should start with www or not: www.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com. As you can see, one domain starts with www and the other does not.

WWW

If you want www.yourdomain.com, configure CloudFlare with the following:

IP: 159.69.89.22

Non-www

If you prefer yourdomain.com, configure CloudFlare as shown:

IP: 159.69.89.22

4. Enter Custom Domain on GSA

Enter your custom domain into the GSA dashboard exactly as chosen above (with or without www). If you have set with www above, you should also do that here.
