Custom Domain Setup
Connect your own domain to Vigthoria hosting for a professional web presence.
Requirements
- Hosting Plan: Custom Domain (€9.99/mo) or Professional (€24.99/mo) plan
- Domain: A registered domain you own
- DNS Access: Ability to edit DNS records at your registrar
Required DNS Records
| Type | Name/Host | Value/Points To | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | @ (or your domain) | 78.46.154.201 | 3600 |
| AAAA | @ (or your domain) | 2a01:4f8:190:63e8::2 | 3600 |
| CNAME | www | hosting.vigthoria.io | 3600 |
IPv6 Support: The AAAA record enables IPv6 access. While optional, we recommend adding it for full compatibility.

Domain Verification
DNS TXT Verification
Add a TXT record to verify ownership. This is the fastest and most reliable method.
Type: TXT
Name: _vigthoria-verify
Value: (provided in dashboard)
A Record Verification
Point your domain to our servers. Verification completes when DNS resolves correctly.
A Record: 78.46.154.201
Verify via CLI
# Start verification process
vigthoria domain add mydomain.com
# Check verification status
vigthoria domain verify mydomain.com
# List all domains
vigthoria domain list
SSL Certificates
SSL certificates are automatically provisioned after domain verification using Let's Encrypt:
- Certificates are issued within 1-5 minutes of verification
- Auto-renewal happens 30 days before expiration
- Both root domain and www subdomain are covered
Cloudflare Users: If using Cloudflare proxy (orange cloud), set SSL mode to "Full (Strict)"
in Cloudflare's SSL/TLS settings to avoid redirect loops.
Troubleshooting
Domain Still Shows Old Site
- Clear browser cache or try incognito mode
- DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours (usually 5-30 minutes)
- Check propagation status:
dig yourdomain.com +short
"Too Many Redirects" Error
This usually happens with Cloudflare. Solutions:
- Set Cloudflare SSL mode to "Full (Strict)"
- Temporarily disable Cloudflare proxy (gray cloud) to test
SSL Certificate Not Issuing
- Verify DNS records point to Vigthoria servers
- Check that domain verification is complete
- Wait up to 10 minutes for certificate provisioning
- Contact support if issue persists
