Custom Domains

Remember a few lessons ago we deployed an app I have been working on? we didn’t deploy the giphy app because we don’t have a purchased domain that we want to put that on. However, my development company Envolvd is about to go live. Perfect timing, right?

Here is the Vercel project.

In this lesson, I am going to make the site you see at the URL, live at envolvd.com.

Get a domain

I already own envolvd.com, but if you are going to follow along, you will need to purchase a domain name. I am using the register namecheap.com. I like the price I pay there and the interface is pretty decent as well. You may prefer to register elsewhere. Here are a few choices I know of but there are many more:

Registrars

• https://www.namecheap.com/
• https://www.godaddy.com/
• https://domains.google/

No matter which you choose the process will be very similar. I will show you how to do it with namecheap, but I am confident you will have no problem making it work with the registrar of your choice.
