Own Your Domain Connect and Troubleshoot a Custom Domain Without the Guesswork

Your domain is your address on the internet (e.g., yourname.com). A custom domain builds trust with customers, clients, and investors in a way a generic subdomain never will. The moment you try to connect a real domain, DNS records, SSL certificates, and cryptic error messages can turn a five-minute task into an afternoon of guesswork. Don’t worry, if those terms mean nothing to you. This workshop will make them simple. In this hands-on live session for Bolt.new paid customers, we'll connect a real custom domain from scratch, one DNS record at a time. ​What We're Building Together: ​We'll take a live Bolt.new project from its default subdomain to a custom domain that's connected and secured, adding each DNS record on screen and explaining what it does and why it matters. ​You will learn how to: ​Configure A, CNAME, and TXT records without the trial and error ​What an SSL certificate does, and realistic timelines for provisioning and propagation, which can take anywhere from minutes to two days ​Tell apart the most common failure points: the wrong record type, propagation still catching up, or a certificate that hasn't finished provisioning ​You'll leave with the confidence to connect a custom domain to your own project. And you'll know how to troubleshoot it yourself the next time something looks off.
