# 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.

### 🔧 How to Connect a Domain

1. Click **Edit Site** in the bottom-right corner of your dashboard.
    
2. Select **Domain** from the menu.
    
3. 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 | Value |
| ---- |
| A | @ | 76.76.21.21 |
| 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.
