Can I use custom domain? How do I set it up?

Your Xomio site can be used with any domain that you own. Xomio does not sell domains, but if you already have one, or purchase one from any domain provider, you can follow these steps to use the domain for your Xomio website. But if at any time you want assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us at help@xomio.com.

Follow these 3 simple steps to set it up:

1. Navigate to your Xomio account settings and locate the "Custom Domain" option.

2. Enter your custom domain name in the provided field. Please ensure that your CNAME (Canonical Name) record is properly set up on your host website. This is crucial for the successful connection between your domain and Xomio.

   
   

Here's what you need to do on your host website ie the website you purchased domain from:

• Copy the CNAME as mentioned in the image below:

Type: CNAME, Name: www and Value: client.xomio.com

• Remove any existing “A” record before adding the new one in the next step.

• Add another Record as mentioned in the image:
