Every Member.buzz sites come with a free subdomain that you can use to access your site. Default domains are composed of your site's Slug and the Member.buzz domain. For instance, if your company is called Acme Corporation, you might choose to have the following address:
https://<slug>.member.buzz
https://acme.member.buzz
You can also use your own domain with a Member.buzz site, but it requires that you complete some additional steps with your domain registrar.
Setup Site
Before you can begin, you must have created a Member.buzz site.
Purchase Domain
You must purchase a domain from a registrar like GoDaddy.
DNS Records
After you purchase your domain, you have to add a few DNS records into your registrar account (like GoDaddy). First, create a DNS records to point from your Domain to Member.buzz:
Record | Host | Destination |
---|---|---|
A | @ | 40.117.190.72 |
Next, choose whether you want to map a Domain or Subdomain.
To map your domain (https://www.domain.com), create the following CNAME DNS record to point your domain to Member.buzz:
Record | Host | Destination |
---|---|---|
CNAME | www | member.buzz |
Next, create the following TXT DNS to verify the ownership of your domain:
Record | Host | Destination |
---|---|---|
TXT | @ | mbzsite.azurewebsites.net |
After your custom domain has been approved, this TXT record can be removed.
To map your subdomain (https://subdomain.domain.com), create the following CNAME DNS record to point your domain to Member.buzz:
Record | Host | Destination |
---|---|---|
CNAME | subdomain | member.buzz |
Next, if you want to use your domain root (https://www.domain.com), create the following records:
Record | Host | Destination |
---|---|---|
TXT | subdomain | mbzsite.azurewebsites.net |
After your custom domain has been approved, this TXT record can be removed.
If you still need help, you can either work with your registrar or reach out to us.
Map Domain
Next, you must add your custom domain in your site's Dashboard. Again, if you are the Acme Corporation, this would be located here:
https://acme.member.buzz/dashboard/setup/domains
Approval
Since mapping of custom domains is not yet fully automated, there is some manual work on our end. If the status of the domain does not change to Complete within a few days, feel free to reach out to us.
