After you click **Connect** on the Domain page, **DNS setup** shows the record for your domain. The usual setup for `www.yourname.com` is below.

## Steps

1. **Open your DNS settings.** Sign in where you bought your domain (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Squarespace, Cloudflare, Wix…) and open its DNS settings, also called “DNS records”, “Advanced DNS” or “Manage DNS”.
2. **Remove old records for the same host.** Delete any existing CNAME, A or AAAA record whose Host/Name is `www` (or your sub-domain).
3. **Add the CNAME record.** Add a record with Type **CNAME**, Host/Name `www`, Value/Points to `sites.realtyterminus.net`, TTL Automatic (or 1 hour). If your provider asks for the full name, enter `www.yourname.com`. On Cloudflare DNS set it to “DNS only” (grey cloud).

4. **Forward the root domain.** Forward `yourname.com` to `https://www.yourname.com` with a Permanent (301) forward. Only if your DNS provider supports CNAME flattening, ALIAS or ANAME on the root (e.g. Cloudflare) can you point the root to `sites.realtyterminus.net` instead.
5. **Re-check.** Back on the Domain page click **Re-check DNS**.

## Questions

### Should I change my MX records?

No. Don’t change your MX (email) records.

### I use a sub-domain like homes.yourname.com. What changes?

The Host/Name is the sub-domain part (`homes`), and your website is served exactly at that address, without www. No forward is needed.
