1. Set up CloudFlare

It is currently only possible to set up a custom domain if this domain runs via CloudFlare. CloudFlare helps protect against DDoS attacks and is free.

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

When you can't use CloudFlare we recommend self-hosting the community website.

2. Configure SSL

Navigate to SSL/TLS -> Overview and make sure Full is selected.

3. Set up DNS

Now it is important to determine what the final domain will be, which visitors will type in to reach the website. You can choose between www.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com. As you can see, one domain starts with www and the other does not.

WWW

If your domain should start with www, you must set this on CloudFlare as follows. Make sure the settings match the screenshot below exactly.

Enter IP: 159.69.89.22.

Non-www

If your domain should not start with www, then you need to set this on CloudFlare as follows. Make sure the settings match the screenshot below exactly.

Enter IP: 159.69.89.22.

4. Enter Custom Domain on GSA

Depending on your choice in the step above, you now need to enter the domain with or without www. If you have set with www above, you should do that here too.
