Guide

Connect your own domain

On the Enterprise plan your page opens on your own domain, for example bio.yourname.com, instead of wbio.ir/you. This guide walks through it step by step.

About 10 minutes · most of it waiting for DNS

What you need

Steps

1

Pick the address

Use a subdomain: bio.yourname.com or link.yourname.com. A bare domain (yourname.com) only works if your DNS provider supports CNAME flattening or ALIAS records (Cloudflare does; many panels do not).

2

Connect it in the wbio panel

Open Dashboard → Domain, type the domain, choose which of your pages should open on it under "Page to show" and press Connect. The status becomes Waiting for DNS; that is expected.

3

Point the record at wbio

In your domain's DNS panel (or your CDN panel — ArvanCloud, Cloudflare…) create one record: a CNAME for a subdomain such as bio.yourname.com (recommended — it follows us if our server ever moves), or an A record for the bare domain (@, e.g. yourname.com):

TypeCNAME
Name / Hostbioonly the subdomain part, e.g. bio
Target / Value••••••••••
TTLAutoAuto or the lowest option

or

TypeA
Name / Hostbioonly the subdomain part, e.g. bio
Target / Value•••.•••.•••.•••
TTLAutoAuto or the lowest option

🔒 The exact record values show here and in your dashboard's Domain section once you have the Enterprise plan.

  • If an A or CNAME record with the same name already exists, delete it first; a CNAME cannot sit next to another record.
  • Put just bio in the name field, not bio.yourname.com, or the record lands on bio.yourname.com.yourname.com.
  • .ir domains: records are created in the panel of whatever your nameservers point at (your host, ArvanCloud or another DNS service), not on nic.ir itself.

Using a CDN (ArvanCloud, Cloudflare)?

Fine — keep the cloud/proxy on; your CDN then issues the certificate for your domain and shows your page from its edge. Two settings matter:

  • Origin protocol / SSL mode: choose HTTPS or Full — not "Full (strict)" and not "verify certificate" (our origin serves a certificate for its own name, which a strict check rejects). Plain HTTP works too.
  • On Cloudflare the SSL mode is per zone (SSL/TLS → Overview); if the rest of your site needs strict mode, add a Configuration Rule for bio.yourname.com that sets SSL mode to Full, or turn the orange cloud off for this record (DNS only) and we handle the certificate ourselves.
5

Wait for it to activate

The status refreshes by itself while the Domain section is open. It usually takes 1 to 30 minutes, at worst 24 hours for DNS. The HTTPS certificate is issued automatically — by us when the record points straight at us, by your CDN otherwise — nothing to install. When it says Active, you are done.

6

Done!

Your page opens on https://bio.yourname.com. The wbio.ir/you address keeps working too, and both count into the same analytics.

If something goes wrong

Still "Waiting for DNS" after an hour

Check with a tool like dnschecker.org that bio.yourname.com resolves to •••••••••• / •••.•••.•••.••• (or to your CDN's addresses when the proxy is on). If not, re-check the record: wrong name, an old record with the same name, or changes not saved.

"Origin certificate" / error 525 / 526 from the CDN

Your CDN is checking our certificate strictly. Set its origin protocol / SSL mode to HTTPS or Full (not strict), or to HTTP. On Cloudflare: SSL/TLS → Overview → Full.

"Origin unreachable" / error 522 / 523

The CDN cannot reach our origin — check the record points at •••••••••• or •••.•••.•••.••• and nothing else.

"That domain is already connected to another account"

A domain can be connected to one account only. If it is yours, remove it from the other account or message us.

I want a different page on the domain

Pick another page in the Domain section and press Connect again; DNS does not need to change.

My plan ended

Until you renew, the domain redirects to wbio.ir. The record and the connection stay, and it is active again once renewed.

I want to remove the domain

Press the bin icon in the Domain section. You can then delete the DNS record too.
