• A form will appear where you need to provide the following information:
• Domain Name: Enter the domain name you want to add to your site.
• Do you own the domain: Specify whether you own the domain by selecting yes or no.
• Once you have filled in all the required information, click on the submit button. The domain will be added to your site, and a popup will display the DNS Name of the site. If you accidentally close the popup, don’t worry! You can always view the DNS name by going to the “Manage Site” section and accessing the “Site Details” page.

Note: If you are using the community license (free plan), please be aware that once a domain is added to a site, it cannot be added to other sites. If you wish to use the same domain for another site, please reach out to our customer service team at sre@roconpaas.com for further assistance.

By following these steps, you can easily add a new domain to your site and configure its settings. Enjoy the flexibility and control that comes with managing multiple domains for your site through ROCON.

Update DNS Record #

To update the DNS record and point your domain name to your site, follow these steps:

• Obtain the DNS Name of your site. This information can be found in the “Manage Site” section, specifically on the “Site Details” page. Take note of the DNS Name as it will be used in the next steps.
• Log in to your domain name provider’s account. In this example, we will use AWS as the domain name provider, but the process may vary depending on your provider.
• Locate the DNS management or DNS settings section in your domain name provider’s account. This is where you can manage your DNS records.
• Add a new CNAME record to your DNS records. Specify the required domain or subdomain for which you want to point to your site.
• In the CNAME value or destination field, enter the DNS Name of your site that you obtained in step 1. This ensures that the domain or subdomain you specified in the previous step will be directed to your site.
• Save the changes to update the DNS record.

By adding the DNS Name of your site as a CNAME record, you are one step closer to pointing your domain name to your site. the overall process should be similar regardless of your domain name provider.

Once the DNS record is updated and propagated across the internet, you will be one step away from pointing your domain name to your site
