# Add domain

> Register a custom domain so shared reports load under your own URL.

A custom domain replaces `app.oviond.com` with a URL you own on shared report links — for example, `reports.youragency.com`. When you add a domain, Oviond detects its DNS host and shows you the exact records to add.

<Steps>
  <Step title="Open Custom domains">
    Go to **Settings → Custom domains** (`/settings/custom-domains`).
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add a domain">
    Click **Add domain**, then enter the subdomain you want to use — for example, `reports.youragency.com`. Don't include `https://`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review the detected DNS provider">
    Oviond looks up the domain's nameservers and identifies the DNS host (Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap, AWS Route 53, Google Domains, or Squarespace; **Other** if it can't be matched). This is read-only — it just tells you where to add the records.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Add the DNS records">
    Oviond shows a `CNAME` record and, in some cases, a `TXT` ownership record. Add them exactly as shown in your DNS provider's admin panel, then click **I added the records**.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Verify">
    Click **Verify domain** to check the records. See [Verify domain](/custom-domains/verify) for the status flow.
  </Step>
</Steps>

## DNS records

Oviond registers the domain with Vercel and returns the records you need to add:

| Record  | Purpose                                                                                                                                                         |
| ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `CNAME` | Points your subdomain at Vercel (`cname.vercel-dns.com`) so it can serve your reports and provision SSL.                                                        |
| `TXT`   | An ownership challenge (`_vercel`), returned only when the domain is already attached to another Vercel account. It can be removed once the domain is verified. |

<Note>
  You always add DNS records yourself in your provider's admin. Oviond detects which provider you use but never writes records on your behalf.
</Note>

<Note>
  On **Cloudflare**, set the record's proxy status to **DNS only** (grey cloud). With the proxy enabled, Vercel can't issue the SSL certificate.
</Note>

<Note>
  SSL is provisioned automatically by Vercel once the domain verifies. You don't need to set up a certificate manually.
</Note>

Your account's first custom domain is set as the default automatically, so shared URLs have a domain to resolve against. The number of custom domains you can add depends on your plan.
