Connecting Your Domain
Pointing your own domain (like yourpub.co.uk) to your site makes it easy for customers to find you online. This is handled securely through the Domain section in your site settings.
Click Edit Site in the bottom-right corner of your dashboard.
Select Domain from the menu.
Enter your domain name (e.g. myvenue.com).
Depending on your setup, you’ll be guided through one of the following verification flows.
If the domain is not already linked elsewhere, you'll see:
Add these records in your domain provider's DNS settings. This setup allows both the root domain (e.g. myvenue.com) and the www version to point to your site.
Once added, click Save Changes. The system will verify and publish your site automatically.
If the domain is already connected to another Vercel project, you’ll see a Pending Verification message instead. In this case:
This proves ownership and transfers the domain to your new site.
⚠️ Caution: If this domain is still in use on another site, adding this TXT record may cause the other site to break. Only proceed if you're certain the domain should point here.
Click Get in touch directly in the Domain panel to contact our team. We’re happy to walk you through the setup or assist with specific providers like GoDaddy, 123-reg, Namecheap, etc.
🔧 How to Connect a Domain
Click Edit Site in the bottom-right corner of your dashboard.
Select Domain from the menu.
Enter your domain name (e.g. myvenue.com).
Depending on your setup, you’ll be guided through one of the following verification flows.
🧪 Domain Verification Paths
✅ 1. Standard Configuration
If the domain is not already linked elsewhere, you'll see:
Required DNS Records:
| Type | Name | Head 3 |
|---|---|---|
| A | @ | 76.76.21.21 |
| Type | Name | Value |
| ---- | ||
| CNAME | www | cname.vercel-dns.com |
Add these records in your domain provider's DNS settings. This setup allows both the root domain (e.g. myvenue.com) and the www version to point to your site.
Once added, click Save Changes. The system will verify and publish your site automatically.
⚠️ 2. Already Registered on Vercel
If the domain is already connected to another Vercel project, you’ll see a Pending Verification message instead. In this case:
You'll be asked to add a:
| Type | Name | Value |
|---|---|---|
| TXT | _vercel | Unique string provided in the interface |
This proves ownership and transfers the domain to your new site.
⚠️ Caution: If this domain is still in use on another site, adding this TXT record may cause the other site to break. Only proceed if you're certain the domain should point here.
