DNS Setup Reference

Enter your domain below to generate the exact DNS records you need to add at your registrar.

Your domain

Enter without https:// or trailing slash, e.g. acme-corp.com. The records below update as you type.

Step 1 — SSL Certificate Verification

Add these CNAME records to prove domain ownership and allow Ploy to issue an SSL certificate for your domain. You can add these immediately — they do not affect live traffic.

Type	Name	Value
`CNAME`	`_acme-challenge`	`your-domain.com.a93c3620a44f1490.dcv.cloudflare.com`
`CNAME`	`_acme-challenge.www`	`www.your-domain.com.a93c3620a44f1490.dcv.cloudflare.com`

Once added, work with your Ploy support team to confirm the SSL certificate has been issued before proceeding to Step 2. You can verify the certificate at SSL Labs — SSL issuance can take a few minutes after the CNAME records propagate.

Step 2 — Production Routing

Add these records to point live traffic at Ploy. Set them only after your SSL certificate has been verified — this is the cut-over step that moves your visitors onto Ploy.

If your registrar does not support a root CNAME, use the A record for the apex (@) instead.

Type	Name	Value
`A`	`@`	`207.207.209.209`
`CNAME`	`www`	`proxy.runploy.com`

After updating these records, Ploy will detect the change and mark your domain as Live. For the fastest detection, keep the domain setup page in your Ploy dashboard open while the change propagates.

DNS configuration varies by provider

The record types and values above are the same everywhere, but the field names and entry format differ depending on your DNS provider or domain registrar. A few things to watch out for:

Field naming — The "Name" column may be labelled Host, Hostname, or Subdomain depending on your provider.
Trailing dots — Some providers require CNAME values to end with a trailing dot (e.g. proxy.runploy.com.); others add it automatically or reject it. Check your provider's documentation if you see a validation error.
@ for apex — Most registrars accept @ to represent the root/apex of your domain, but some require you to leave the Name field blank instead.
TTL — If you have not already lowered your TTL ahead of the cutover, set it to 60–300 seconds now so the change propagates quickly once you save. See Preparing for Ploy Transition for more detail.
