Premium feature. Use your own domain name instead of yourname.pagecord.com.
Step 1: Configure your DNS
Before adding your domain in Pagecord, you need to point it to our servers. Add these records with your DNS provider:
For root domains (e.g. mydomain.com)
Option 1: ALIAS + CNAME (recommended)
ALIAS @ → proxy.pagecord.com CNAME www → proxy.pagecord.com
Option 2: CNAME only (Cloudflare users)
CNAME @ → proxy.pagecord.com CNAME www → proxy.pagecord.com
Option 3: A record (if ALIAS not supported)
A @ → 94.130.191.219 CNAME www → proxy.pagecord.com
Note: The IP address may change. Use ALIAS if your provider supports it.
For subdomains (e.g. blog.mydomain.com)
CNAME blog → proxy.pagecord.com
Step 2: Add the domain in Pagecord
- Go to Settings → Blog Settings
- Enter your domain in the Custom Domain field
- Click Update
Pagecord will verify your DNS and set up SSL automatically. This can take a few minutes.
Cloudflare users
Important: when first setting up your domain, your Cloudflare DNS records must be set to DNS only (grey cloud). The orange-cloud proxy prevents us from issuing your SSL certificate, which will leave your site showing a 522 error.
Once your site is loading successfully on Pagecord, you have two options:
- Leave it as DNS only (grey cloud) – the simplest setup, since Pagecord already provides CDN and SSL.
- Switch to the proxied (orange cloud) mode if you want Cloudflare's CDN and protections. If you do, set your SSL/TLS mode to Full (Strict) to avoid certificate errors. The certificate renews fine through the proxy once it has been issued.
Removing a custom domain
To remove your custom domain, clear the Custom Domain field in Blog Settings and click Update. Don't forget to remove the DNS records too.
