Use a custom domain

Serve your Pro Weather site from a domain you own, like weather.yourclub.org: add one A record and HTTPS is issued and renewed for you. A Pro feature.

Every site has a free yourname.pro-weather.com address. On Pro you can also serve it from a domain you own, like weather.yourclub.org. Custom domains are not part of the trial.

Add your domain

Open your site and go to Sharing → Domains.
Enter the domain, such as weather.example.com, and choose Add.
Add the DNS record it shows at your DNS provider (usually the registrar you bought the domain from).

Add the DNS record

Every domain uses one A record pointing at the IP address shown in the dashboard. Copy the values from there. Only the record name changes:

Domain	Record name
A subdomain, like `weather.yourclub.org`	`weather`
A root domain, like `yourclub.org` or `yourclub.co.uk`	`@`, plus a second A record on `www`

Enter only the name (weather, www or @), not the full domain. Most DNS editors add the domain for you, so weather.yourclub.org would become weather.yourclub.org.yourclub.org. Leave TTL at its default.

Using Cloudflare?

Set the record to DNS only (grey cloud). With the proxy on, your domain resolves to Cloudflare instead of us, so it never verifies and no certificate can be issued.

Root domains and `www`

When you add a root domain, Pro Weather also covers its www version (and the other way round). Add the second A record the dashboard lists under your domain, on www with the same IP. www.yourclub.org then gets its own certificate and redirects to yourclub.org. A subdomain like weather.yourclub.org needs no second record.

Verify

The Domains page checks your DNS each time you open it. Choose Check again to check straight away. Each domain shows a status:

Status	Meaning
Live	The domain points at Pro Weather and is served over HTTPS.
Awaiting verification	The A record is missing, wrong, or has not propagated yet.
Conflicting DNS record	The A record is right, but an old AAAA record points elsewhere. Delete the record the dashboard shows.

DNS changes usually show up within minutes, but can take up to 48 hours.

Troubleshooting

Status stays on "Awaiting verification"

Value: the IP must match the dashboard exactly.
Name: weather.example.com needs the record on weather, example.com on @.
Type: it must be an A record. A CNAME to somewhere else will not verify.
Cloudflare: switch the record to DNS only (grey cloud).
Propagation: check your record on whatsmydns.net or dns.google, then choose Check again.

`www` shows a warning or doesn't load

The www record is missing. Add an A record on www with the same IP (the dashboard lists it under your domain), then give the certificate a few minutes.
