Your website
How do I put my site on my own domain?
Add the domain under Website → Domain, set one A record at your DNS provider, and HTTPS switches on by itself.

Under Website → Domain in your portal. You add the domain there, point one DNS (domain name system) record at the platform from your domain provider, and the certificate for HTTPS is issued automatically once the record is seen — nothing to email, upload or renew.
Connecting a domain comes with the Found website plan and every plan above it; building and previewing your site stay free. On the free plan the page explains that instead of offering the panel — see dealer-plans.
The steps
- On Website → Domain, enter the domain you want the site to run on —
for example
www.yourgarage.com, or a subdomain liketuning.yourgarage.comif your main site lives elsewhere. - At your domain provider (GoDaddy, Cloudflare, and so on) create the A
record the page shows: use
@as the host for a root domain or the subdomain label (for examplewww) for a subdomain, with the IP address the page gives you as the value. The record is set at your own registrar, not with us. - Wait for the check to pass. DNS changes take minutes to a few hours to propagate; Check now re-runs the check on demand. Once the record is seen, the SSL certificate is issued automatically and the status turns Live — your site is served over HTTPS on your domain.
Does my site have an address before the domain connects?
No. A dealer site is reachable only on your own domain — there is no included platform address serving it. You can build and preview everything from the portal without a domain, but a published site with no connected domain has no public address yet; the editor says Connect a domain to view until one is live. Connecting the domain is what puts the site in front of visitors.
The record is set but the page says DNS is not detected
The two usual causes: the record was added at a provider that is not actually authoritative for the domain (check where your domain's nameservers point), or an old record for the same host is still in place at the previous host. Fix the record where DNS is really served, remove the stale one, and run Check now again — and remember propagation can genuinely take a few hours.
Removing or changing the domain
Remove on the same page disconnects the domain; the site then has no public address again until a new domain is connected. Do not delete the DNS record at your registrar "to clean up" while the domain is connected — that is the site disconnecting itself.
Still stuck?
If the record has been in place for more than a day and the status still shows DNS not detected, open a support ticket with the domain name, where its DNS is hosted, and a screenshot of the record — see getting-help.
