Connecting a Custom Domain to Kangcono
Every Kangcono instance supports custom domains with zero-touch automated SSL/TLS certificates.
How Automated SSL Works
When you point your DNS records to our server, our edge platform automatically provisions and renews trusted SSL certificates with zero manual configuration.
Required DNS Records
Server IP: 185.199.108.153Add the following two DNS records in your domain registrar's DNS Management panel (e.g. Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap):
| Record Type | Name / Host | Value / Target | TTL |
|---|---|---|---|
| A | @ | 185.199.108.153 | Auto / 3600 |
| CNAME | www | <subdomain>.kangcono.com | Auto / 3600 |
Replace <subdomain> with your company's actual Kangcono subdomain (e.g. beckenham.kangcono.com).
Registrar-Specific Instructions
Cloudflare
1. In your Cloudflare dashboard, select your domain and click DNS → Records.
2. Add the A record (@ pointing to 185.199.108.153).
3. Add the CNAME record (www pointing to your Kangcono subdomain).
4. Set proxy status to DNS Only (Grey Cloud) initially so SSL validation can complete directly.
GoDaddy / 123 Reg
1. Log into your GoDaddy or 123 Reg account and open DNS Management.
2. Under Records, locate any existing A record for @ and edit it to point to 185.199.108.153.
3. Ensure the CNAME record for www points to your Kangcono subdomain.
4. Save changes. Propagation typically takes 5 to 15 minutes.
Namecheap
1. In your Namecheap dashboard, click Manage next to your domain, then Advanced DNS.
2. Add an A Record: Host: @, Value: 185.199.108.153, TTL: Automatic.
3. Add a CNAME Record: Host: www, Target: yourclub.kangcono.com.
4. Click the green checkmarks to save.
DNS Propagation & Verification
After configuring your DNS, you can verify that records have propagated globally using online DNS lookup tools like whatsmydns.net or running dig yourdomain.com +short. Once the IP resolves to 185.199.108.153, your site will load with a green lock!
