Connect a domain
Point your custom domain to your Arketa website.
To use a custom domain (e.g., yourstudio.com) with your Arketa website, you need to configure DNS records with your domain registrar.
Easy setup (recommended)
- Go to Sales Channel → Branded Website
- Click Edit to open the website editor
- Click More → Settings → Site Domain
- Click Change Website Address
- Select Use a domain you already own
- Enter your domain with
www.prefix (e.g.,www.yourstudio.com) - Follow the on-screen steps — the editor walks you through the DNS changes needed
[VIDEO TODO] Record a short Loom video showing the full domain connection flow: navigating to Sales Channel → Branded Website → Edit → More → Settings → Site Domain → Change Website Address, selecting "Use a domain you already own," entering the domain with the www prefix, and following through the on-screen DNS instructions.
Manual DNS setup
If you prefer to configure DNS records yourself, you'll need to add a CNAME record and two A records.
CNAME record
