# How to connect your domain to Framer

| **Objective** | Publish a Framer website on your AEserver domain. |
| --- | --- |
| **Why customers use this** | Fast way to launch a branded marketing site or startup page; Easy to keep domain ownership separate from the site builder |
| **Records to expect** | Framer shows the exact DNS records to add; commonly this includes A records for the root domain and a CNAME for www. |

Before you start

Have access to both your AEserver Client Area and your account at Framer.

Know whether you are connecting the root domain (example.com), a subdomain (such as www.example.com or shop.example.com), or both.

Take a quick screenshot or copy of any current DNS records before editing them, especially if the domain already has a live website or email service.

Step 1 - Get the DNS records from Framer

**1.**Log in to Framer and open your project.

**2.**Go to Site Settings > Domains.

**3.**Choose Connect a domain you own.

**4.**Copy the DNS records Framer gives you for the root domain and any subdomains.

Step 2 - Add the records in the AEserver Client Area

**1.**Sign in to your AEserver Client Area.

**2.**Open Domains and choose the domain.

**3.**Open DNS Management.

**4.**Create or update the records exactly as Framer provided them.

**5.**Remove conflicting old records for the same hostnames, then save.

Step 3 - Verify and finish

**1.**Return to Framer and allow it to validate the records. Then publish or re-publish your project to the connected domain.

**2.**Allow time for DNS propagation. Many changes appear within a few minutes or hours, but full propagation can take up to 24-48 hours.

**3.**Once the service shows as connected, test the live result. Open the website, send a test email, or visit the exact subdomain you connected.

**Quick tips**

Framer’s required IP addresses can change over time, so always use the values shown in your Framer project

If Framer asks for both root and www, set both before testing

Use a low/default TTL if you want faster future changes

**Common issues and solutions**

| **Common problem** | **What it usually means / what to do** |
| --- | --- |
| Framer shows domain errors | One or more records are old, incomplete, or duplicated |
| HTTPS is not ready yet | Framer may still be provisioning SSL after DNS first resolves |
| Visitors see inconsistent results | Wait for propagation and test from different networks |

*If you are not sure which record to edit, or if the domain already has a working website or email service, contact AEserver Support before making changes so we can help you avoid downtime.*
