How to connect a domain

Connecting a domain involves your registrar's system. Here are the steps and how long each one takes.
01

Type the domain into settings

Use any domain you already own, from any registrar. You do not need to transfer it, and Beste does not sell domains.

1 minute

02

Copy 2 records to your registrar

Beste shows exactly what to paste and where: 2 lines in your registrar's DNS settings.

5 minutes

03

Wait for DNS

Usually minutes, sometimes a few hours, while the new records spread across DNS caches. This timing is outside any platform's control.

Minutes to a few hours

04

The certificate is issued for you

HTTPS is set up once the domain resolves, and the certificate renews automatically after that.

What your own domain gives you

A custom domain makes the link you share look like a business, lets search engines build authority for your name, and lets you move later without starting over.
  • An address with your business name in it
  • Search authority that builds on your domain
  • No platform name in your address bar
  • You keep managing the domain at your registrar
  • The option to point it elsewhere at any time
  • Your content stays the same if you disconnect or switch

Build first, choose a domain later

You can build and publish on a beste.co address, then connect a domain when you are ready. Nothing changes on the site when you do.

A working beste.co address

Your site is live, indexable and shareable on a beste.co subdomain you choose. You can send the link to a client today.

  • Pick the subdomain yourself
  • HTTPS, hosting and CDN included
  • No time limit
