DNS Setup Guide

Custom Domain Setup Guide for 4EVERLAND Deployments

Prerequisites

Before you begin:

  1. Domain Ownership: You must control the domain's DNS settings (via registrar/Cloudflare etc.)

  2. Deployed Project: Have a live 4EVERLAND project (IPFS/IC/Arweave) ready for custom domain mapping

  3. DNS Knowledge: Basic understanding of CNAME/TXT records (we provide copy-paste values)

Step 1: Add Custom Domain in 4EVERLAND

Path: Dashboard → Projects → [Select Project] → View Detail → Domains → Add Custom Domain

  1. Domain Selection

    • Enter your domain (e.g., yourproject.com or www.yourproject.com)

    • Click the "Add" button

  2. Add Domains

    • Check Add www.yourproject.com and redirect yourproject.com to it / Add yourproject.com and redirect www.yourproject.com to it

    • Click OK → 4EVERLAND generates unique DNS records for verification

Step 2: Configure DNS Records (Critical Step)

DNS Provider Setup (Example: Cloudflare)

  • Login to your DNS provider (Cloudflare/GoDaddy/Namecheap etc.)

  • Add records:

Record Type
Name
Value
TTL

CNAME

@ or www

your-project-id.cname.ddnsweb3.com

1h

TXT

@

dns.verify=your-project-id

1h

Step 3: Verify Domain Propagation

  1. Check Propagation

    • Wait 5-30 minutes (DNS propagation time varies by provider)

    • Test with: dig +short CNAME yourdomain.com (should return 4EVERLAND target)

    • Use DNS Checker for global propagation status

  2. Confirm in 4EVERLAND

    • Return to the domain modal → Click Refresh

    • Success: Status changes to Verified ✅; project auto-deploys to custom domain

    • Failed?:

      • ❌ CNAME mismatch → Recheck record values

      • ❌ TXT missing → Ensure subdomain exists

      • ⏱️ Wait 10 more minutes (propagation delays common with new domains)

SSL Certificate Management

4EVERLAND ensures secure HTTPS access for all custom domains with fully automated SSL/TLS certificate management. Below is a detailed breakdown of our certificate system, designed for seamless integration and zero manual configuration—mirroring industry standards set by leaders like Vercel and Cloudflare.
