Connecting a custom domain to your Sprinthub instance is essential to ensure your brand has a unique and professional address. The process involves two simple steps: add a CNAME pointing to the Sprinthub instance and then configure an authorization CNAME to validate the domain.

***

**1. Why connect a custom domain?**

Connecting a custom domain improves credibility and makes it easier for your customers to access your instance. In addition, it allows you to customize your URL with your visual identity, such as `mysystem.yourdomain.com.br`.

***

#### **Step-by-step to Configure the Custom Domain**

**1. Configuring the CNAME for the Sprinthub Instance**

The first step is to point your domain or subdomain to the Sprinthub instance.

1. Access the DNS management panel of your domain provider (e.g., Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Registro.br).
2. Create a new DNS record of type **CNAME**.
3. Enter the information below:
   * **Name (Label/Host):** The subdomain you want to use (e.g., `system`, `app`, etc.).
   * **Destination (Target):** `sh2.sprinthub.site`

* Save the configuration

**2. Configuring the Authorization CNAME**

To validate the custom domain and ensure its security, you need to add an authorization CNAME record.

1. Return to the Sprinthub configuration panel, in the **Custom Domain**.
2. Locate the field that displays the CNAME verification record (as shown in the panel image).
3. In your DNS provider, add another record of type **CNAME** with the following data:
   * **Name (Label/Host):** Automatically generated by Sprinthub (e.g., `_899364707ac0a...`).
   * **Destination (Target):** Automatically generated (e.g., `3abd1c07a77469...acm-validations.aws`).
4. Save the configuration.

**3. Testing and Validating the Domain**

1. After adding the two records, return to the Sprinthub panel and click **Verify Domain**.
2. Wait for DNS record propagation, which can take up to 72 hours (but usually happens within a few hours).
3. When the verification is complete, your domain will be active and ready for use.

***

#### **Conclusion**

Connecting your custom domain to the Sprinthub instance is simple and essential to strengthen your digital identity. After configuring the CNAME records, your domain will be ready to provide a personalized and professional experience to your users.

If you encounter difficulties in any of the steps, contact Sprinthub technical support for assistance.
