Step-by-step DNS setup for your Aveiro site — add records at your registrar, verify SSL, and make your domain the primary public URL with automatic redirects from your aveiro.page slug.
Open Settings → Custom domain, add your hostname, copy DNS records to your registrar, refresh until verified, then publish site settings. SSL provisions automatically; your slug URL redirects to the custom domain when connected.
Why connect a custom domain
Your Aveiro site ships with a preview URL:
https://your-slug.aveiro.page
That works on day one. A custom domain (www.yourbrand.com, docs.yourproduct.com) helps with:
Brand trust — readers recognize your hostname in the address bar
Email alignment — sending domains and site URLs look coherent
SEO — one canonical host instead of split signals between slug and brand domain
Shareability — links in campaigns and social posts match what you print on business cards
Aveiro provisions SSL automatically after DNS verification. No manual certificate uploads.
Before you start
Requirement
Why
Site saved in Aveiro
Domain panel needs a persisted site record
DNS access at your registrar
You will add CNAME or A records Aveiro shows
Published content (recommended)
Visitors see something useful on go-live
15–60 minutes for propagation
TTL and registrar caching vary
You do not need to delete your *.aveiro.page slug — once connected, it redirects (301) to your custom domain with the same path.Full URL model: Preview and live URLs.
Step 1 — Add the domain in the editor
Open your site in the editor.
Go to Settings → Site → Custom domain.
Click Edit and enter your hostname (e.g. or ).
www.example.com
docs.example.com
Save — Aveiro displays the DNS records to add.
Use the exact hostname you want visitors to type. Apex (example.com) vs www depends on your registrar — follow the record types Aveiro shows for your choice.
