Connect a custom domain

Custom domains let a producer use a domain they own.

Producer steps: 1. Upgrade to a plan that allows custom domains. 2. Open Dashboard > Domains. 3. Add the domain, for example beats.yourname.com. 4. Copy the DNS records shown by TrakRoom. 5. Open the domain registrar or DNS host where the domain is managed. 6. Add the DNS records exactly. 7. Return to TrakRoom and click Verify.

Common DNS records: For a subdomain like beats.yourname.com: - Type: CNAME - Name: beats - Value: cname.vercel-dns.com

For an apex/root domain like yourname.com: - Type: A - Name: @ - Value: 76.76.21.21

Nameservers vs CNAME: You usually do not need to change nameservers. Keep the domain wherever it is registered, then edit DNS records there. Only change nameservers if you want another DNS host, such as Cloudflare, to manage all DNS for the domain.

TrakRoom uses Vercel domain automation. When the platform owner sets VERCEL_API_TOKEN and VERCEL_PROJECT_ID, adding a custom domain from the dashboard attaches that domain to the Vercel project and returns the correct DNS instructions.
