Connect a custom domain

Your site is live at yourname.managecanvas.com, but you can use your own domain instead.

Add your domain

1. Open Account → Settings and find the Custom domain section.
2. Enter your domain (e.g. www.yourname.com) and save.

Add one DNS record

ManageCanvas gives you a CNAME target. At your domain registrar — wherever you bought the domain — add a CNAME record pointing your domain to that target. You don't need a Cloudflare account; just this one record.

Wait for it to go live

The status shows Pending while your DNS change propagates and a security certificate is issued (usually minutes, sometimes a few hours). When it's ready the status turns Active, and your site loads securely over your own domain.

Tips

• Use a subdomain like www or art — most registrars only allow CNAME records on a subdomain, not the root.
• Your yourname.managecanvas.com address keeps working too, so existing links never break.
