How To Connect Canva Website To Namecheap Domain 2024 (Step By Step)

Welcome back everybody, today we are going to be focusing into how to connect your Canva website to a name-tubed domain

Having a custom domain is going to be helping you not only encasing your brand but also provide a more professional look to your online presence

Whether you are running a business, showcasing a portfolio or creating a website, this guide will help you to link your Canva site into a name-tubed domain

So let's get started. So why connecting a custom domain to Canva website

A custom domain plays a vital role into the website identity, it makes your site easier to remember and can boost your CEO efforts

Before beginning guys, what you want to do is to ensure that you have published a Canva website on a domain registered with Namechip

Now first of all, we start by preparing your domain inside Namechip

Configuring your Namechip domain. What you want to do first of all is to login to your Namechip account and go directly into your dashboard

Once you are here into your Namechip dashboard, what you want to do is to focus into the URL and the domain you want to access here

Now, this is where we're going to be adding all the DNS webcodes provided by Canva

So I'm going to hit into Manage. Now, obtaining the DNS settings from Canva

Now, let's go back here into Canva. Directly that we are in here, Canva provides the necessary DNS settings to link to your custom domain

Navigate to the Website Settings or Domain Settings section in Canva to find these details

Now, switch to your Canva website editor. Canva provides the necessary DNS settings to link to your custom domain

So, copy the DNS records as you'll need them to the next step into Namechip

If this is the first website that you created, you're going to see something like this

So, we can see that you've published your website. Of course, you want to enable the web navigation

And for now, let's go for the free domain. Now, let's go here into Continue

And here you want to enter yourself's domain. Let's say for example that this is photographics.photio.techexpress

And then you're going to hit into Continue. You can use only latest

So, I'm going to use latest and hit now into Continue once again. And here's the page URL

So, let's say for example that I have the About. This is an About section

So, now let's head back into Namechip. Let's update the DNS records into Namechip

Back into your Namechip account, head to the DNS settings for your domain. Here to add a DNS record provided by Canva

I'm going to hit into Advanced DNS. And usually, the DNS is going to be something like this

CNAME record www.canva.com for example. Now, in here, we don't have the DNS since we are only able to add a free version of our custom website

Because we are currently using an actual Canva for Education users. So, for Teams, only administrators and owners can access these features

So, it's really important guys that if you are working into Canva, you need to Canva Pro or Canva for Teams or for Education

But being an actual administrator or an owner. But don't worry, all these elements are going to be appearing like this

So, once you find it, the CNAME, just going to add it in here. And automatically, it's going to be asking you to impose your info directly into your website

And hit now into the view navigation. Of course, with navigation. And here is my custom website

If you edit your website, it's going to be needed to get approved once again

In order to check it out. And then later on, your account should be already being connected to your new domain

Now, penalizing the connection. After entering DNS records into Namechip, save your changes

DNS updates can take some time to propagate so your domain may not immediately react to the Canva site

Once the DNS changes have taken effect, your custom domain will be connected to your Canva website

And you are good to go. So guys, that is actually it

You have successfully connected the Namechip domain to your Canva website. This new connection allows you to showcase your Canva site under a custom professional website address
