Use a custom domain
Point any domain you own to your FrontDesk mini-site. SSL is provisioned automatically — no manual certificate work required.
Overview
By default your mini-site is available at a FrontDesk URL. If you own a domain (for example dtautoservice.cc), you can make that domain open your mini-site instead. Visitors who go to your domain will see your branded page, with no FrontDesk branding in the address bar.
The setup has two parts: pointing the domain to the FrontDesk server in your DNS settings, and entering the domain in the portal. Both take only a few minutes.
Step-by-step setup
Purchase your domain from any registrar — Namecheap, GoDaddy, Google Domains, Cloudflare, or any other provider. The registrar does not matter; you only need access to its DNS settings.
Log in to your domain registrar, open the DNS settings for your domain, and add the following record:
| Type | Name / Host | Value | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
A |
@ |
135.125.254.9
|
3600 (or Auto) |
The Name field is labelled differently by each registrar — common labels are Host, Name, or Subdomain. Use @ to target the root domain (e.g. yourbusiness.com). To also cover www.yourbusiness.com, add a second identical A record with the name set to www.
In the portal, go to Mini-site settings. Scroll down to the Custom domain section, type your domain (e.g. yourbusiness.com) into the field, and click Save changes.
Do not include https:// or a trailing slash — just the bare domain name.
DNS changes typically take between a few minutes and 48 hours to propagate worldwide. Once they are live, visiting your domain in a browser will show your FrontDesk mini-site.
An SSL certificate is issued automatically the first time someone visits the domain — no extra steps needed.
Server IP address
Always point your A record to this address:
Tips and common issues
FrontDesk provisions a free SSL certificate for your domain on first visit. You do not need to upload a certificate or configure anything extra. The process takes a few seconds and happens transparently.
If you want www.yourbusiness.com to also work, add a second A record with the name www pointing to the same IP. Both the bare domain and www will then open your mini-site.
Each business can have one custom domain. A domain already linked to another business will be rejected when you try to save it. If you need to move a domain to a different shop, remove it from the original business first.
If your domain uses Cloudflare, make sure the A record proxy status is set to DNS only (grey cloud icon), not Proxied (orange cloud). Proxying can interfere with SSL provisioning.
