Use your own domain
Show your site on www.yourname.com with HTTPS: one DNS record at your domain provider.
Show your website on a domain you own, like www.yourname.com, with HTTPS set up for you. Visitors never see fwdia.com. You keep the domain where you bought it (and your email stays where it is); you only add one record.

Connect a domain
- Open your site, choose Settings > Your domain. Used all the domains your plan includes? Add an extra domain first (it's added to your plan).
- Type the domain, for example
www.yourname.com, and choose Connect. - Fwdia shows one record to add: a CNAME with a name (for example
www) and a target. Log in where you bought or manage the domain (Combell, one.com, GoDaddy, TransIP, Cloudflare...), open its DNS settings and add exactly that record. Remove any other record with the same name first. - Sometimes a second record is shown: And this record, to confirm the domain is yours (a TXT record). Add it too.
- Wait. The tab checks by itself: DNS found > security certificate > live. Usually within an hour; DNS changes can take up to a day.
www or without www?
www.yourname.com works with every provider. A root domain (yourname.com without www) only works if your provider supports CNAME-like records at the root (often called ALIAS, ANAME or CNAME flattening). If yours doesn't, connect www and let your provider forward the root domain to it.
What changes when it's live
- Your site opens on your domain, and
fwdia.com/yournameforwards to it. - Your printed QR code keeps working and opens your domain.
- Links, sharing previews and Google use your domain.
Disconnect
Disconnect in the same tab. Your site is then back at its fwdia.com address. If your paid plan or the extra domain add-on ends, you get a warning and the domain is disconnected after 7 days.
