🌐 Bring Your Own Custom Domain Setup
Want to use a domain you already own (e.g. yourname.com)? Choose the verification setup method that fits your situation best:
Option 1: DNS TXT Record (Recommended if you have NO website)
Add a TXT record at your domain registrar (Cloudflare, Namecheap, GoDaddy, etc.). No web hosting required!
Type: TXT
Host/Name: _atproto (or _atproto.yourdomain.com)
Value: did=did:plc:...
Option 2: Point Domain IP to Server (No Website Required)
Point your domain or wildcard subdomain to our automated handle server IP:
Type: A record pointing to 185.xxx.xxx.xxx or CNAME to pds.sqhome.uk
Option 3: HTTP File Upload (If you ALREADY have an existing website)
Create a text file on your web server at the URL below:
URL: https://yourdomain.com/.well-known/atproto-did
File Content: did:plc:...
