## Step-by-Step DNS Configuration

1. **1. Open Custom Domain Settings**

    Navigate to **Dashboard → Settings → Custom Domain**.

2. **2. Enter Your Domain Name**

    Enter your desired domain or subdomain (e.g. `links.yourname.com` or `yourname.com`).

3. **3. Add DNS Records at Your Domain Registrar**

    Log into your domain provider (Cloudflare, Namecheap, GoDaddy, Google Domains, AWS Route 53) and add the following record:

    | Record Type | Host / Name | Target / Points To | TTL |
    | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- |
    | **CNAME** | `links` (or `@` for root) | `cname.ceynk.com` | Auto / 3600 |

    *If your DNS provider does not support CNAME flattening for root apex domains (`@`), add the provided A record instead.*

4. **4. Verify & SSL Provisioning**

    Click **Verify Domain**. Ceynk will automatically verify the DNS propagation and provision a free, auto-renewing SSL certificate within minutes.
