+2. Navigate to the *Custom Domain* page under *Site Settings*.
+3. Select the *Add new custom domain* option in the *Choose your hosting option* dropdown.
+4. In the *Domain Name* text field, enter the domain and tld of you want to connect to this Site (e.g., example.com).

+
+To see your Site content live on your domain, you will need to set up your [DNS](/documentation/articles/what-is-dns/). For more information, please read our documentation on [configuring CloudCannon DNS](/documentation/articles/configure-cloudcannon-dns/) (recommended) or [configuring external DNS](/documentation/articles/configure-external-dns/).
+
+We also recommend adding an [SSL certificate](/documentation/articles/what-is-an-ssl-certificate/) to your Site. For more information, please read our documentation on [adding a wildcard SSL certificate](/documentation/articles/add-a-wildcard-ssl-certificate/) or [adding a custom SSL certificate](/documentation/articles/add-a-custom-ssl-certificate/).
+
+To stop hosting your Site on a Custom Domain, navigate to the *Danger zone* tab on the *Custom Domain* page and click the *Remove Custom Domain* button.
