How to Add a CNAME Record to Your DNS Settings

Adding a CNAME record to your DNS settings is a simple process that helps configure your domain to work with The Shed App. Follow the steps below to complete the setup.

Step 1: Locate Your DNS Settings

1. Log in to your domain provider’s admin panel (e.g., GoDaddy, Namecheap, Google Domains).

2. Navigate to the DNS Settings or DNS Management section.

Step 2: Add a New CNAME Record

1. Click the option to Add a Record or Create New Record.

2. Enter the following details:

   • Record Type: CNAME

   • Host/Name: app

   • Points to/Value: app.theshedapp.com

   • TTL: Leave as default (typically 3600 seconds or automatic).

Save the record once you've entered the details.

Step 3: Verify Changes

1. Use a DNS propagation checker tool, such as What's My DNS, to confirm the changes have propagated.

   • Enter your domain (e.g., app.yourdomain.com) and check the CNAME record.

   • Look for the result to point to app.theshedapp.com.

2. Keep in mind that DNS changes can take a few hours to fully propagate across the internet. If you don’t see the changes immediately, check again later.

Step 4: Notify The Shed App Support Team

1. After the DNS changes have propagated successfully:

   • Send an email to support@theshedapp.com.

   • Include your domain name and request a domain update for your account.

2. The support team will confirm the changes and finalize the setup.
