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

Add the CNAME record at your DNS provider

In your domain's DNS panel create a new record:

TypeCNAME
Name / Hostbioonly the subdomain part, e.g. bio
Target / Valuecustom.wbio.ir
TTLAutoAuto or the lowest option
  • 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.
  • If your DNS is on Cloudflare, switch the record's orange cloud off (DNS only, grey cloud). With the proxy on, the certificate cannot be issued.
  • .ir domains: records are created in the panel of whatever your nameservers point at (your host or DNS service), not on nic.ir itself.
4

Wait for it to activate

The status refreshes by itself while the Domain section is open. It usually takes 5 to 30 minutes, at worst 24 hours. The HTTPS certificate is issued automatically, nothing to install. When it says Active, you are done.

5

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 custom.wbio.ir. If not, re-check the record: wrong name, an old record with the same name, or changes not saved.

Certificate error / page does not open

On Cloudflare, set the record to DNS only. The certificate is issued a few minutes after DNS is right.

Status "Error" with a message

Cloudflare's message is shown under the status. Remove the domain, fix the record and connect again.

"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 CNAME record too.
