# 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.
