You can put any custom domain in front of a hosted site — on any DNS provider (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Route 53, Cloudflare, anything). You don't need to give Devani access to your DNS; you just add the records we show you.
(If your domains are on Cloudflare and you'd rather we do this automatically, see *Automatic DNS: connect your Cloudflare account*.)
Steps
- In your Devani dashboard, open the site, go to Domains, and add your domain (e.g.
www.client.com). - Devani registers it and shows you the records to add — typically two:
- a CNAME that routes the domain to our edge, and
- a TXT record that validates the certificate.
- Go to your DNS provider and add those two records exactly as shown.
- Done. Cloudflare validates them and issues the certificate automatically — usually within a few minutes. The domain then shows as live (HTTPS) in your dashboard.
Tips
- Use a subdomain (like
www.client.comorapp.client.com) when you can — it's a clean CNAME and works everywhere. A bare apex (client.com) needs your provider's CNAME-flattening / ALIAS support, which not every registrar has (Cloudflare does it automatically). - Nothing goes live until the records resolve, so there's no downtime risk while you set it up.
- Already had the domain pointed somewhere else? Changing these records is what moves it to your hosted site — that's the cutover moment.
