How to set up custom domains for your Dump blog.

Once you have installed Dump in your Deta.space account, you will see it's icon on your Deta Space Canvas.

  1. Click on the three dots shown on Dump's icon and choose settings from the drop down menu
  2. Head over to the domains tab and click on Add custom domain
  3. Type in your domain name without https:// prefix like example.com and click on Add domain. You can also use a free name.dump.inkdomain (subject to availability). Just enter your desired subdomain like example.dump.ink and click Add domain. If it says "Error: Domain is already in use", then it's not available and you should try for a different subdomain.
  4. It will show you two DNS records that you'll have to add to your domain through your Registrar. If you don't know how to do that, just google "How to add DNS records to in " Skip this step if you're using the free .dump.ink domain.
  5. Now you'll have to wait for about 10 minutes (might take more time in some cases, max: 24 hours)

Here's a more detailed and visual guide to doing this.

And here's a list of unsupported domains.
