Setting up a Domain on Porkbun

Adding a CNAME Record

  1. Log in to your Porkbun account.
  2. Go to Domain Management and click on your domain.
  3. Click the DNS Records section.
  4. Click Add Record (or Edit if a www record already exists).
  5. Set the Type to CNAME.
  6. In the Host field, enter: www
  7. In the Answer field, enter your IndieMade URL (e.g., yourshop.indiemade.com).
  8. Leave TTL at the default.
  9. Click Save.
Important: If there is an existing A record with the host www, delete it first. An A record for www will conflict with the CNAME.

Setting Up Domain Forwarding

You need to forward your root domain (yourdomain.com) to www.yourdomain.com.

  1. In your Porkbun domain management, click on your domain.
  2. Look for the URL Forwarding section (or find it under the domain’s settings).
  3. Add a forwarding rule:
    • Subdomain: leave blank (for the root domain)
    • Destination: https://www.yourdomain.com
    • Type: Permanent (301)
  4. Click Save.

Changes typically take effect within a few minutes, but full DNS propagation can take up to 48 hours.
