By default, your Blog lives at an address like public.getcando.com. If you prefer to use your own domain, you can do so, but you need to know this before you start:
- Note: Custom domains work only on Pro and Business; if your account is on Solo you can save the domain but it won't work.
How to set it up:
- Enable Enable custom domain in the "Custom domain" section and enter your domain (for example,
blog.yourcompany.com). You don't need to include https:// or www. Can Do removes them automatically. - Go to where you manage your domain's DNS (GoDaddy, Namecheap, or wherever you purchased it) and add this record:
-
Type
Name / Host
Value
TTL
CNAME
blog.yourcompany.com
public.getcando.comAuto
- DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours to take effect, depending on your provider. Therefore, you should keep an eye on it.
Your original link at public.getcando.com continues to work even after setting up a custom domain, think of the custom domain as an additional entry, not a replacement.
Notes:
- The same domain can only be used in one Blog, Knowledge Base, Roadmap, or Form at a time. If you see an error saying it's already in use, check that you don't have it set up elsewhere within Can Do.
- If you disable "Enable custom domain", your saved password will also be deleted, if you had one. You'll need to set it up again if you want to reactivate password protection.
- If you delete the domain you added, after refreshing you'll have the default URL that Can Do provides.
