This is a feature that connects to my SlashPage when I enter a domain I have in the address bar.

Setting up CNAME on DNS site set up for domain
There are many sites that provide DNS, such as AWS (Amazon Web Service), GoDaddy, Google Domains, and Gabia, but this guide is based on AWS. The setup method does not differ much from site to site.
1.
Click on the menu with a name like DNS Settings , Domain Settings , or Domain Management .
2.
Look for values such as CNAME , CNAME record , or Canonical Name .
3.
Enter the following information in the blank spaces:
Host or Name | Target or Points to or Value |
www | customdomain.slashpage.com |
AWS's DNS setting screen
Precautions when entering Host(Name)
If the domain you want to connect is www.mybrand.com , then www ,
If it is blog .mybrand.com, please enter blog .
If it is blog .mybrand.com, please enter blog .
4.
After a while, the setup will be complete, and you can check by searching for the domain directly on a site such as G Suite toolbox or DNSChecker . ( You can also check by using the dig or nslookup command in the terminal.)
Checking on DNS Checker
DNS CNAME information can take anywhere from a few minutes to as long as 48 hours to propagate globally.
Checking whether DNS settings are complete in SlashPage
Waiting for SSL certificate to be issued
To use the custom domain feature, you need a certificate. Once the DNS settings are complete, SlashPage will automatically issue a certificate. It usually takes 20 seconds or more to issue, so please wait a moment.
Certificate issuance screen
Custom domain connection completed
If the certificate issuance is complete, now when I access www.example․com, it will connect to my SlashPage.
Since you can't set up a CNAME record for the root domain, it's still difficult to connect when you just enter example.com without www.
How to use example.com instead of www.example.com?
There are two ways to do this.
1. Use ANAME or ALIAS records
Available when the DNS site supports ANAME or ALIAS record format.
A. Enter example.com in the custom domain settings above .
B. On the DNS settings page, select ANAME or ALIAS.
C. Enter the following information:
Host or Alias | Target or Points to or Value |
@ Or leave blank | www.example․com |
2. Use the redirect or forwarding function of the DNS site.
This feature may have different usages on different sites, and this feature requires that the DNS site supports HTTPS URL redirection.
A. On the DNS settings page, look for a menu with a name like URL Redirect , Forwarding , or Web Address Forwarding .
B. Enter the following information:
Source or redirect address | Destination or Target Address |
example.com | www.example․com |
C. If you set the redirect type to 301 Permenant Redirect , search engines will recognize it as the same site.
