Connect a custom domain to my school

To connect your custom domain to your school, please follow the steps below.

You must first purchase your custom domain from a hosting provider such as:

• GoDaddy
• Ionos
• OVH
• ...

Step 1: Go to your school's "Hosting" tab

1. Click on the "gear" icon to access your school's settings
2. Click on the "Hosting" tab

Step 2: Add the domain name of your choice

In the "Domain" field of the "Custom domain" block, add the custom domain name you wish to assign to your school, then click "Next".

In this example, we want to connect "demonstration.schoolmaker.net" to our school.

Please note:

• The domain name must be added without "https://".
• It should be written like this "example.com".
• If you write: "www.exemple.com", then you must use "www.exemple.com" as "Host name" in step 8.

Step 3: Refresh this webpage

Click on "refresh this page" to continue setting up your custom domain.

Step 4: A new link will be generated automatically

A "target" link will be generated automatically.

It will be useful for the next steps.

Step 5: Go to DNS configuration settings

1. Go to your hosting provider.
2. Go to the DNS configuration settings for your chosen domain name.

In this example, our hosting provider is IONOS.

Step 6: Add a DNS record

Add a DNS record.

Step 7: Choose the record type

Select the "CNAME" type.

Step 8: Configure this DNS record

Fill in the boxes displayed as follows:

1. Host name: Add the domain name you wish to use. It must be the same to the one used in step 2.
2. Point to (or target): Indicate the redirection target. This is the "target" link generated in step 4.
3. TTL: Leave the TTL set to "1 hour" or "3600".
4. Click on Save to validate your DNS record.

Step 9: Check your DNS configuration

Return to your school and click on "Check my CNAME configuration".

This can last for about 24 hours.
