• Step 1: Point your subdomain to Writizzy
• Step 2: Set up your custom domain in Writizzy
• Step 3: Check that everything is working

My starting point:

• You have a blog on Writizzy
• You can add a DNS record with your hosting provider. This demo will use OVH, but the process is broadly the same for all providers

Let’s take a look at how to set this up very simply.

#Step 1: Point your subdomain to Writizzy

You need to configure your domain or subdomain to point to your Writizzy blog address. Example: I want to map my subdomain a-day-with-laravel.happyto.dev to my blog a-day-with-laravel.writtizy.com.

I go to my dedicated control panel at OVH:

Click on "Ajouter une entrée".

Select CNAME as the record type:

Add your entries

Subdomain: your subdomain. For me, it’s a-day-with-laravel Target: the domain your subdomain should point to (be redirected to). In this case, the address of my blog on Writizzy is a-day-with-laravel.writizzy.com

Once everything has been entered, you can click on "Add".

It can take up to 48 hours for this configuration to propagate across the DNS servers.

Be patient!

#Step 2: Set up your custom domain in Writizzy

Once your configuration has propagated to DNS servers worldwide – which you can check using tools such as DNSChecker – you will be able to configure your Writizzy blog to link to your URL.

Go to the domain management page: https://writizzy.com/dashboard/settings/domains

1. Enter the address of the subdomain you have just set up with your hosting provider
2. Click on "Verify domain" – obviously, you will need to wait for your subdomain to propagate fully (see step 1)

and you should then see the word "Verified" appear to the right of the "Verify domain" button

#Step 3: Check that everything is working

Go and check that everything is working properly, of course. And as far as I’m concerned, it works:
