How to Set Up Your Custom Domain with Pixul AI

Adding a custom domain to your Pixul AI white-label site allows your business to maintain a fully branded presence. By following this guide, you can set up a custom domain, such as design.yourdomain.com, or even a root domain like yourdomain.com, and point it to your white-label Pixul AI platform.

Overview

This process involves:

1. Sending us the desired name for your custom domain or subdomain 
2. Receiving TXT records for certificate validation from Pixul AI. 
3. Adding the provided TXT records to your DNS provider. 
4. Activating and testing your custom domain after validation is complete.

A Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1: Submit Your Desired Custom Domain Name
Send us your desired domain or subdomain name (e.g., design.yourdomain.com or yourdomain.com) via email or support ticket. We’ll set up a custom hostname and provide the necessary DNS records for validation.

Step 2: Receive Validation Details
Pixul AI will send you two TXT records for certificate validation:

• Certificate Validation Record 
• Hostname Pre-Validation Record

Step 3: Add TXT Records to Your DNS
Log in to your DNS provider (e.g., Namecheap, GoDaddy) and add the provided TXT records exactly as instructed.
