Custom Domains

By default your band page is at webkit.band/yourband and yourband.webkit.band. If you own a domain like yourband.com, you can point it to your webkit.band page.

Before you start

You'll need:

  • A domain you own (from any registrar — Namecheap, GoDaddy, Cloudflare, Google Domains, etc.)
  • Access to your domain's DNS settings
  • A webkit.band account

Step 1: Add your domain in the dashboard

  1. Go to Dashboard → Design (or Settings, depending on your plan)
  2. Scroll to Custom Domain
  3. Enter your domain (e.g. yourband.com or www.yourband.com)
  4. Click Save

webkit.band registers the domain with Vercel automatically.

Step 2: Update your DNS

Log in to your domain registrar and add these DNS records:

For a root domain (yourband.com):

| Type | Name | Value | |------|------|-------| | A | @ | 76.76.21.21 | | CNAME | www | cname.vercel-dns.com |

For a www subdomain only (www.yourband.com):

| Type | Name | Value | |------|------|-------| | CNAME | www | cname.vercel-dns.com |

If your registrar doesn't support CNAME on the root, use the A record pointing to 76.76.21.21.

Step 3: Verify

DNS changes can take a few minutes to a few hours to propagate. Once it's working, visiting your domain will show your webkit.band page.

You can check propagation at dnschecker.org.

Troubleshooting

My domain shows a Vercel error page

The domain was registered but DNS hasn't propagated yet. Wait a bit and try again.

I added the records but it's still not working after 24 hours

Double-check that you saved the records correctly. Some registrars require you to omit the trailing dot from CNAME values. Try removing it if you added one.

I want to use Cloudflare

If your domain is proxied through Cloudflare (orange cloud), set the CNAME record to DNS only (grey cloud) — Cloudflare's proxy can interfere with Vercel's SSL certificate provisioning.

SSL

webkit.band automatically provisions an SSL certificate for your custom domain. You don't need to do anything — HTTPS is included.
