The short answer

Durable lets you connect an existing domain (included with every subscription). At your registrar add one A record on the root (@) pointing to the IP Durable shows, plus a www CNAME pointing to websites.mydurable.com. Durable runs on Cloudflare and provisions SSL automatically — full propagation can take 24–48 hours.

How connecting a domain to Durable works

Durable uses one A record on the root (@) and a www CNAME → websites.mydurable.com (older sites may still use websites.durable.co, which remains valid). Durable is hosted on Cloudflare, so the root A record points to a Cloudflare IP shown in your dashboard (currently 162.159.140.42 or 172.66.0.42) — add only one, and use the exact value Durable shows since these infra IPs can change.

SSL is automatic (Cloudflare-generated). There's no TXT verification, and custom domains are free with every Durable subscription.

Step by step

  1. Have/buy a domain (search and register on JustDomain.ai, or buy through Durable).
  2. In Durable, open your site's domain settings and choose to connect an existing domain; it shows the A record and CNAME.
  3. At your registrar, add one A record (@ → the IP Durable shows) — remove any other/duplicate A records.
  4. Add the www CNAME → websites.mydurable.com (exact match).
  5. Save; SSL is provisioned automatically. Wait up to 24–48h and verify both records resolve (e.g. with dnschecker.org).

Common gotchas

  • Multiple A records on the root break the connection — keep exactly one (Durable's).
  • The CNAME must be an exact match — don't confuse durable.co with mydurable.com.
  • Because it's Cloudflare-backed, the A-record IP can change — always use the current dashboard value.
  • Propagation can genuinely take 24–48h; check across regions before assuming failure.
