Connecting a custom domain to your Webperia site takes about 5 minutes to set up, though DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours.

Step 1: Add Your Domain

Navigate to Dashboard → Domains and enter your domain name (e.g., www.yourdomain.com). Click 'Add Domain' to continue.

Step 2: Configure DNS Records

Log in to your domain registrar (GoDaddy, Namecheap, Cloudflare, etc.) and add these records:

  • A record: @ → 76.76.21.21 (TTL: 3600)
  • CNAME record: www → cname.buildstack.site (TTL: 3600)

Step 3: Wait for Propagation

DNS changes propagate globally within 24–48 hours, though most records update within 30 minutes. You can check propagation status at whatsmydns.net.

SSL Certificates

Webperia automatically provisions a free SSL certificate via Let's Encrypt as soon as DNS propagation completes. No configuration required — HTTPS is enabled automatically.

SSL is non-negotiable in 2026. Google penalizes non-HTTPS sites in search rankings, and modern browsers show security warnings to users.

Troubleshooting

  • If your domain shows 'Pending DNS' after 48 hours, double-check your DNS records
  • Ensure you've removed any conflicting A records pointing to other hosts
  • Some registrars require you to remove the default parking records first
  • Contact support@buildstack.site if you're still having issues
