[Help](/help) / Custom Domain Map Custom Domain  Mapping a custom domain to your Hostbento website allows you to use your own domain name \(e.g., www.yourdomain.com\) instead of the default Konigle subdomain. 

> Note Before you begin, ensure that you have access to your domain's DNS settings. You will need to add specific DNS records to point your domain to Hostbento.

Steps to Map a Custom Domain

  1. Login to your Hostbento admin panel and select the right project for the website you want to map the domain to.
  2. Navigate to the "Settings > Domains" page.
  3. Login to your DNS provider's dashboard and locate the DNS management section.
  4. Add a CNAME record for your custom domain:
  5. **Name/Host** : Enter the subdomain you want to use \(e.g., `www` or `@` for root domain\).
  6. **Value/Points to** : Enter `xxxxxxx.konigle.net` \(replace `xxxxxxx` with your actual project subdomain\).
  7. **TTL** : Set it to the default value or 1 hour.
  8. Save the DNS record and return to the Hostbento admin panel.
  9. In the custom domain input field, enter your full custom domain \(e.g., `www.yourdomain.com`\) and click "Submit Request".
  10. Hostbento will verify the DNS settings. This may take some time due to DNS propagation.
  11. Once verified, your custom domain will be mapped to your Hostbento website.

Once mapped, all the traffic to your `konigle.net` subdomain will be redirected to your custom domain. This is useful if you are already getting some traffic to your `konigle.net` subdomain before setting up the custom domain. Ready to Get Started? Start building your website with AI and Hostbento.
