# Connect your own domain

> Point a domain you own at your stack and check that it is live

You can serve your apps on your own domain, for example `example.com`, with
HTTPS. kombify never needs access to your DNS provider: you add two records
yourself and kombify checks them.

## Before you start

* You own a domain and can edit its DNS records at your DNS provider.
* Your plan includes a domain. Custom domains come with quarterly billing of
  the Pro plan (1 domain) or the All You Need plan (2 domains). The page
  **Settings**, **Domains** shows "X of Y in use". If your plan does not include
  domains, the page says so; see
  [Plans and billing](/apps/cloud/plans-and-billing).
* Your server is running. The records to set appear only once your stack has a
  server address.

## Steps

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Domains">
    Open **Settings** from the account menu, then the **Domains** tab.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Enter your domain">
    Under "Use a domain you own", type the domain and choose **Connect**. It
    appears under "Your domains" with the status "Setting up".
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the two DNS records">
    The entry lists two A records, one for the domain itself and one for all
    its subdomains, with their values. Add exactly these at your DNS provider.
    Set them to **DNS only** (no proxy) and remove any other A records for
    these names.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Check DNS">
    Choose **Check DNS**. Each record shows "Correct", "Not found" or "Points
    to" another address.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Wait for HTTPS">
    When both records are correct, your stack requests the HTTPS certificate.
    The status changes to **Live** and the page says your domain is live.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## Check that it worked

Your domain shows **Live** in the list.

## Other things on this page

* The page also offers to register a new domain through kombify. If it says
  "Registering domains is not available for your account yet", that part is
  not open to you. When it is open, you see the price per year and must
  confirm it before anything is bought.
* Extra domains are not sold as an add-on yet. Larger plans include more.

## If something goes wrong

* **"Your stack is not ready for this domain yet."** Wait until your server
  runs, then choose **Check DNS** again.
* **"Not every record points at your stack yet."** DNS changes can take a few
  minutes to show. Check the values and try again.
* **"This domain was checked a moment ago."** Wait the number of seconds
  shown.
* **"Setup failed" or "Needs support".** Write to
  [info@kombify.io](mailto:info@kombify.io) with the domain name.
* **"All domains included in your plan are in use."** Compare plans in
  [Plans and billing](/apps/cloud/plans-and-billing).
