Custom Domains

EnaCast lets you use a custom domain (for example, www.yourstation.com) for your station’s public website, instead of using the default EnaCast address.

What Is a Custom Domain

By default, your station’s website is accessible at an address like yourstation.enacast.com. With a custom domain, you can make the same website accessible from your own domain, for example www.yourstation.com.

This gives you:

• Professional image: your brand appears directly in the browser address bar
• Better SEO: search engines index your own domain
• Free SSL certificate: EnaCast automatically generates an HTTPS certificate for your domain

Prerequisites

Before setting up your custom domain, you need:

1. To own the domain you want to use (purchased from a domain registrar)
2. Access to the DNS panel of your domain provider to create records
3. Administrator role in your EnaCast station

Setting Up the Domain

1. Go to your station settings in the EnaCast administration panel

2. Enter your domain in the “Custom domain” field (for example, www.yourstation.com)

3. Create a CNAME record in your domain provider’s DNS panel:

   Type	Name	Value
   CNAME	www	cname.vercel-dns.com

4. Wait for DNS propagation, which can take from a few minutes up to 48 hours depending on your provider

5. Verify that the domain works by visiting https://www.yourstation.com

Always use the www subdomain

We recommend using www.yourstation.com instead of just yourstation.com (root domain). The www subdomain allows the use of a CNAME record, which is more reliable and compatible with all DNS providers.

SSL Certificate

Once the CNAME record points correctly, EnaCast automatically generates an SSL certificate for your domain. This means:

• Your website will be accessible securely via HTTPS
• You don’t need to purchase or configure any certificate
• The certificate renews automatically

Note

SSL certificate generation may take a few minutes after DNS propagation completes. If you see a security warning in your browser, wait a few minutes and try again.

Checking the Status

To verify that your domain is correctly configured:

1. Visit https://www.yourstation.com in your browser
2. Verify that the secure connection padlock (HTTPS) appears
3. Confirm that your station’s website is displayed

If the domain doesn’t work after 48 hours, check:

• That the CNAME record is correctly created in your DNS panel
• That there are no other records (such as an A record) for the same subdomain that might conflict
• That the domain entered in EnaCast matches exactly with the CNAME record

Changing or Removing the Domain

You can change your custom domain at any time from the station settings. When you change or remove the domain:

• The website becomes accessible only from the default EnaCast address
• The old domain will stop working
• If you set up a new domain, a new SSL certificate will be generated automatically

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I Use a Root Domain (Without www)?

It’s possible, but not all DNS providers allow creating a CNAME record on the root domain. If your provider supports it (some call it “CNAME flattening” or “ALIAS”), you can use it. When in doubt, always use www.yourdomain.com.

What Happens to the Old EnaCast Link?

The default EnaCast address continues to work even if you have a custom domain. Both links are valid.

Do I Need to Purchase Web Hosting?

No. EnaCast hosts your website automatically. You only need to own the domain and configure the CNAME record.
