# How to Connect A Custom Domain?

Your job board will work by default under the subdomain name that you entered during the registration(eg. `your-domain.myjboard.io`), but in general, we recommend connecting your custom domain name to the job board to set your own branding. If you do not have your domain name yet, you can purchase it from Godaddy.com

Many people use a subdomain like jobs.yourdomain.com but you can also use www.yourdomain.com.

Here's a video walkthrough on how you can connect your custom domain:

#  Step 1: Go to Your Job Board Settings Page

Log in to [app.jboard.io](https://app.jboard.io) dashboard and navigate to **Job Board Settings** and click on **General > General Settings**

# Step 2: Enter Your Custom Domain

Add your domain name in the **Custom Domain** section.

* If you're adding a full domain, enter both www.yourdomain.com and yourdomain.com.
* If you're adding a subdomain, you only need to enter the subdomain, such as jobs.yourdomain.com.

# Step 3: Update Your Domain’s DNS Settings

Once you add your custom domain, the system will automatically display the DNS records you need to add to your DNS zone.

To add these records, first sign in to your domain registrar. Your domain registrar is the website where you purchased your domain, such as GoDaddy, Hover, Namecheap, or another domain provider.

Once you're signed in, go to your domain's DNS settings and add the DNS records shown in JBoard.

||| **Important:** If you already have an "A" record with the same hostname that you are adding, you will need to update the record instead of creating a new one.

### For Example, This Is How It Will Look Like for Godaddy

Go to your domains list from the "My Products" section

Scroll down to "All Products and Services" section, where you will see the "DNS" link beside the domain

Update or create "A" records as described above

# Step 4: Wait for Change to to Propagate, and Then Verify

Domain changes can take anywhere from **15 minutes to 48 hours** to propagate, depending on your domain provider. Our system will automatically check your DNS settings every 15 minutes to verify your domain.

Once your domain has been successfully verified, you’ll see a “Verified” tag next to it, and your job board will be accessible under your custom domain.
