How to Connect a Domain to Carrd.co

If you've set up a website through Carrd.co and would like to connect it to your custom domain registered on Porkbun, you're in the right place! Before you do make any changes on your Porkbun account, the first step will be to add your custom domain to Carrd.co by following their guide.

1: Log in. This should take you to the Domain Management screen. If you're already logged in, click on ACCOUNT in the top right, and select Domain Management.

2: Locate the domain you're connecting to Carrd.co. Click on the "Details" button to open the domain's details menu, then click on the edit icon next to "DNS Records".

3: The DNS records menu for your domain will pop up. Here you can input the DNS records for your domain that Carrd.co provided you as part of their setup process, and click on "Add" to get them applied to your domain. They should look something like this:

Note:

If you get any errors stating that a "record with that host already exists", you'll probably need to delete a few existing DNS records on your domain first. Check out this guide for more information.

4: Once you've added those records, scroll down to the "Current Records" section to ensure the records you added were saved successfully.

That should be it! The last step is to go back to the website on Carrd.co and verify the connection to your domain, then publish the website. If that goes through successfully, your website should come online within 24 hours. While the site is still initializing, you may see an error screen from Cloudflare:

That error likely means that you've done everything correctly! We recommend waiting a full 24-48 hours after publishing the website to ensure Carrd finishes initializing your site and bringing it online. Feel free to get in touch with our support team if you run into any problems getting your domain connected.
