Domain Setup
Overview
Connect your own domain (yourbrand.com) instead of using default subdomain (yourname.pandaidx.com).
Domain Requirements
You Need:
- Domain registered (GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.)
- Access to DNS settings
- SSL certificate (auto-provided)
Setup Process
- Settings → Domain
- Enter your domain (e.g., johnsmith.com)
- Copy provided DNS records
- Add records to your domain registrar
- Wait for verification (up to 48 hours)
- SSL certificate auto-issued
DNS Records
Add These Records:
Type: CNAME
Name: www
Value: [provided by system]
Type: A
Name: @
Value: [provided IP]
Common Registrars
GoDaddy: Domains → DNS Management → Add Record Namecheap: Domain List → Manage → Advanced DNS Google Domains: DNS → Custom Records
Troubleshooting
Domain Not Verifying:
- Wait 24-48 hours (DNS propagation)
- Check records match exactly
- Clear DNS cache
SSL Certificate Issues:
- Domain must verify first
- Certificate auto-issues after verification
- Contact support if stuck
Quick Reference
| Step | Time Required |
|---|---|
| Add DNS records | 5 minutes |
| DNS propagation | 4-48 hours |
| SSL issuance | Automatic |
| Verification | 24-48 hours |
Quick Win: Set up subdomain first (listings.yourdomain.com). Easier than root domain, same professional look.
