In this video, we'll show you how to add a custom domain to your frame website. Let's look at the steps:
Step 1: Log in to Dashboard
Once you have logged in in the dashboard, you'll go down to domains.
Step 2: Click on Domain
Sorry, we will click on the domain.
Step 3: Add Custom Domain
This has a list of all the domains associated with your website. We will go to add a domain and then in this window right here, you would add your custom domain.
Step 4: Enter Domain Name
So we'll just say example.
Step 5: Save Changes
And then you would hit the save button.
Step 6: Make Primary Domain
It would appear in the list. So in this it would say example.com and then you need to make it your primary.
Step 7: Verify SSL Certificate
Once it says valid for the SSL certificate, you make it your primary address. So in this you can only have one at a time.
Step 8: Set the Primary Address
So for this example we've already made Aspen Grove sdachurch.demo.adventistchurch.dev as a primary address. Even though we have other names listed, you only have a primary.
Step 9: Confirm Setup
So you would make your new address the primary and then it would have a destination of the original address such as this one right here.
And that is how you add a custom domain to your website.
When an official church or school is added to the Frame platform, we automatically provide a free, official domain name for the website. Or this was already assigned to you as an official domain name by NAD an official Seventh-day Adventist organization.
You can identify a platform-supplied domain by looking at the URL. They will end in one of two ways:
Churches: *.adventistchurch.org (Example: aspengrovewa.adventistchurch.org)
Schools: *.adventistschoolconnect.org (Example: adobe.adventistschoolconnect.org)
Ministries are always welcome to purchase and connect their own custom domains (like mychurch.com), but the platform-supplied domains remain permanently available at no cost.
