Direct your custom domain to Snackeet and connect it to your Snackeet Story.

⚠️ This feature depends on your current offer and can be limited.

  1. Create your CNAME record.

  2. Link a custom domain and verify it in Snackeet.


    ​
    ​Important: Domains can take anywhere from 24-48 hours to populate and sometimes up to 72 hours, depending on your provider. Some providers like GoDaddy and Google Domains can populate their DNS as quickly as 15 min to 1 hour.

1. Create your CNAME record

Access your domain's DNS settings in your domain registrar's or DNS host's dashboard.

IMPORTANT : We currently DO NOT support proxied domains. You will need to deactivate it.

Add a CNAME record

  • Add a CNAME record

  • Set the name : your subdomain

  • Set the target : custom.snkt.io

For example :

Some DNS hosting services prefer that you set the full domain (story.yourdomain.com) as the host instead of story. We recommend that you check the "Adding a CNAME record" documentation of your DNS host.

Every DNS host has their own way of updating DNS settings. We recommend that you read the help documentation of your DNS host, also do not hesitate to contact their support for help with their interface and settings.

2. Link a custom domain and verify it in Snackeet.

Go to your Story > open the Share tab > click on Share Story > SETUP CUSTOM DOMAIN

In 1) section add the subdomain.domain that will be redirected to your story. ( subdomain. yourdomain.yourdomainextension eg. story.snackeet.io )

In 2) section click on verify your domain.

If your site verification doesn’t work right away, you can come back later to check the status again. If you still run into any issues with your domain verification, reach out to your DNS provider to make sure the records are set correctly or reach out our team

3. Setup your favicon

The favicon is a small square image that represents a website in web browsers. If you take a look at the address bar of your browser right now or on the one of the tab of your browser you will see it.

  • Click on "Setup Favicon"

  • Add you image, it can be png or jpeg
