Below is an updated guide for setting up your domain to point to endpoint.rechat.site. Please note that while we’re using CNAME records for this example, some DNS providers do not allow CNAME records on the root domain. In those cases, you may need to set up an ALIAS or ANAME record for the root domain instead.

1. Log in to Google Domains

• Visit Google Domains.

• Sign in with the account used to purchase your domain.

2. Select Your Domain

• Click on the domain you wish to connect to endpoint.rechat.site.

3. Access DNS Settings

• In the left-hand menu, click on DNS.

4. Create the Root Domain Record

• For Providers That Allow CNAME at Root:

  • Scroll down to the Custom Records section.

  • Click Manage Custom Records and then Add.

  • Name: @

  • Type: CNAME

  • TTL: Use the default value or set it to 1 hour.

  • Data/Points to: endpoint.rechat.site

• For Providers That Do Not Allow CNAME at Root:

  • Set up an ALIAS or ANAME record instead using the same details above.

• Save the record.

5. Create the www Subdomain Record

• Add another record with the following details:

• Name: www

• Type: CNAME

• TTL: Use the default value or set it to 1 hour.

• Data/Points to: endpoint.rechat.site

• Save the record.
