Custom Domain

Add your own domain name to your Neocities site!

<% if !current_site.errors.empty? %>
<% current_site.errors.each do |error| %>

<%= error.last.first %>

<% end %>
<% end %> <% if flash[:success] %>
<%== flash[:success] %>
<% end %>

Adding a custom domain allows you to have a domain name attached to your web site. So if you had a domain like catsknitting.com, you could have it point to your Neocities site!

You will have to purchase a domain name from a registrar like Namecheap, and then add an A record to point your domain (catsknitting.com) to the following IP address:

198.27.81.179

If you want to add a www subdomain, or use a wildcard that will answer to everything (*), you will have to make a CNAME pointing to catsknitting.com for www and/or *.

After that, you can add the domain to the box below (just the catsknitting.com, don't add any subdomains), and your domain should come online within 5 minutes:

<%== csrf_token_input_html %>
