We are still working on fully automating this process. In the meantime, you can still get your custom domain setup - it might just take a few days.
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://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 space.
Purchase Domain
You must own a custom domain or purchase a new one 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).
To get started, choose whether you want to map a Domain or Subdomain to your Member.buzz space.
To map your domain (https://www.domain.com), create the following DNS Mapping Records to point to Member.buzz:
| Record | Host | Destination |
|---|---|---|
| A | @ | 40.117.190.72 |
| CNAME | www | member.buzz |
| CNAME | * | member.buzz |
Next, create the following DNS Verification Records to verify the ownership of your domain:
| Record | Host | Destination |
|---|---|---|
| CNAME | awverify | awverify.mbzsite.azurewebsites.net |
| CNAME | awverify.www | awverify.mbzsite.azurewebsites.net |
After your custom domain has been approved and you have verified that it is functioning correctly, the DNS Mapping Records can be removed.
To map your subdomain (https://subdomain.domain.com), create the following DNS Mapping Record record to point to Member.buzz:
| Record | Host | Destination |
|---|---|---|
| CNAME | subdomain | member.buzz |
Next, create the following DNS Verification Record to verify the ownership of your domain:
| Record | Host | Destination |
|---|---|---|
| CNAME | awverify.subdomain | awverify.mbzsite.azurewebsites.net |
After your custom domain has been approved and you have verified that it is functioning correctly, the DNS Mapping Record can be removed.
If you still need help, you can either work with your registrar or reach out to us at https://support.member.buzz.
Adding Domain to Member.buzz Space
Next, you must add your custom domain in your site's Domain Setup 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.
