Configuring Custom Domain with PixelBin

This guide will help you create and delete a Custom Domain with PixelBin.

---

Prerequisites

• You have a PixelBin account.
• You have a domain that you own and control.
• You have contacted PixelBin Support to enable custom domains for your account.

Create a Custom Domain

Create a CNAME Record with your DNS Provider

Create a CNAME record with your DNS provider. The CNAME record should point to cdn.pixelbin.io. Replace assets.example.com with your own subdomain.

assets.example.com CNAME cdn.pixelbin.io

You might need to wait a few minutes for the DNS records to propagate. You can use tools like whatsmydns to verify the DNS record is configured and has started propagating across the world.

You can find the documentation for your DNS provider below:

• CloudFlare
• GoDaddy
• AWS Route 53
• Namecheap
• Google Domains

CloudFlare User?

If you are using CloudFlare as your DNS provider, make sure that proxy status for the CNAME is set to "bypass" and not "proxied".
