# Configuring a Custom Domain

Configuring your DNS records might sound technical, but it's a crucial step to ensure your customers can find your website at the correct address. \
\
This guide will walk you through the process of setting up your custom domain with a few commonly used domain providers.

### Steps to Configure

* **Log in to Atlas**
  * Go to the Atlas Dashboard and log in with your admin credentials.
* **Open Meraki Editor**
  * From the left menu, select **Meraki → Editor**.
* **Add a Custom Domain**
  * Navigate to the **Domain** section.
  * Click **Add Custom Domain**.
  * Enter your desired domain name (e.g., `order.yourbrand.com`).
* **Get DNS Records**

  * After entering the domain, Atlas will generate the required **DNS records**.

  * Each record will include:
    * **Name**
    * **Type** (CNAME, A, etc.)
    * **Value**
* **Update Your DNS Provider**
  * Log in to your DNS provider’s portal (e.g., GoDaddy, NameCheap).
  * Add the DNS records exactly as shown in Atlas.
  * Save and apply the changes.
* **Verify Setup**
  * Return to Atlas → Domain section.
  * Once DNS records propagate (can take up to 24–48 hours), your domain will be verified and connected.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://help.urbanpiper.com/direct-ordering/configuring-a-custom-domain.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
