Use a custom domain

Every site comes with a free yourname.pro-weather.com address. On the Pro plan you can also serve your site from a domain you own, like weather.yourclub.org, with HTTPS handled for you automatically.

A Pro feature

Custom domains are available on the Pro plan. Your free subdomain works on every plan, including the trial.

Don't have a domain yet?

You can register one with any domain registrar. We're not affiliated with them, but Cloudflare Registrar is a popular choice: it sells domains at cost (no markup) and has easy-to-use tools for managing your DNS records.

Add your domain

In the dashboard, open your site and go to Domains.
Enter the domain (or subdomain) you want to use, such as weather.example.com, and choose Add domain.
Pro Weather shows you the exact DNS record(s) to add at your domain registrar, the company you bought the domain from.

Add the DNS record

The dashboard shows the precise values to use, so always copy them from there. In general:

A subdomain like weather.yourclub.org uses a CNAME record pointing at Pro Weather.
A root domain like yourclub.org uses an A record (on the @ host) pointing at the IP address shown.

Using Cloudflare?

Set the record to DNS only (grey cloud, proxy off) so verification and SSL can complete.

Verify

After you've added the record, choose Check again in the Domains page. Each domain shows its status:

Live: verified, DNS is pointing at Pro Weather, and your site is being served over HTTPS.
Awaiting verification: ownership isn't confirmed yet. This usually means the verification TXT record is still pending or was entered incorrectly.
DNS not detected: ownership is confirmed but the CNAME/A record hasn't been added yet, isn't pointing at the right target, or hasn't propagated.

Once a domain is Live, your site is reachable there with HTTPS issued and renewed automatically.

DNS can take time

DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to 48 hours to propagate worldwide. If verification doesn't pass right away, wait an hour and choose Check again.

Troubleshooting

Status stays on "Awaiting verification"

This means Pro Weather hasn't confirmed you own the domain. Double-check that you've added the TXT verification record shown in the dashboard. It must match the exact value. If using a subdomain like weather.example.com, the TXT record belongs on weather.example.com, not the root domain.

Status stays on "DNS not detected"

Ownership is confirmed but your A or CNAME record isn't pointing at Pro Weather's servers yet:

Check the target: make sure the A record IP or CNAME target matches exactly what the dashboard shows. A stray space or typo will break it.
Check the name: a subdomain like weather.example.com needs a CNAME on weather, not @ or www. A root domain like example.com needs an A record on @.
Wait and retry: DNS changes are cached by internet providers. Use a tool like whatsmydns.net to check if your record has propagated globally, then choose Check again.
Cloudflare users: set the record to DNS only (grey cloud). The orange proxy (cloud) can interfere with verification and SSL issuance.

Cloudflare proxying (orange cloud)

If you use Cloudflare as your DNS provider, make sure the record shows the grey cloud (DNS only). When the orange cloud (proxy) is enabled, Cloudflare hides Pro Weather's real IP and Vercel can't complete the SSL handshake. Your domain will stay on a non-Live status indefinitely.

I still can't get it working

Email hello@pro-weather.com and include your domain name and a screenshot of the DNS record you added. We'll help troubleshoot.
