DNS setup

April 15, 2026

The two DNS records you need to add to serve a channel under your own domain.


On the channel's settings page, enter the domain you want to use (for example blog.example.com) in the Custom domain field and save. OmniCon stores it as unverified until you add the DNS records below.

1. Ownership (TXT record)

Add a TXT record at _omnicon-verify.<your-domain> with the value:

omnicon-verify=<your-channel-id>

The channel ID is shown on the settings page next to the domain field. This proves you control the DNS for the domain.

2. Routing (CNAME record)

Add a CNAME record at your domain pointing to:

omnicon.cloud

Apex domains (e.g. example.com with no subdomain) need an ALIAS or ANAME record instead — most providers offer one. If yours doesn't, use a subdomain like www or blog.

Propagation

DNS changes can take anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours to propagate. Once both records are live, move on to verification.
