WARNING
I’ve seen lots of issues with custom domains using Squarespace. I suggest switching your nameserver to Cloudflare. It is free and there is a tutorial here
This is my personal tutorial for all you Nekowebians out there! I would recommend watching the video at the bottom for a more thorough guide.
Setup
-
Donate to Nekoweb to unlock custom domains.
-
Purchase a custom domain from a site like Porkbun.
-
Go to Nekoweb settings and under the
Add domain
section, type in your new domain, e.g.joo.sh
-
Leave the folder blank if your site is located in the root.
-
Select main if this is what you want your main domain to be. Your main domain is where your
[username].nekoweb.org
link will route to. -
Click add.
-
Go to the DNS settings in your registrar.
-
For Porkbun:
- Go to the DNS settings and add a record.
- For
Type
, selectALIAS - CNAME flattening record
. - For

, leave it blank for the root. - For
Answer
, set it todns.nekoweb.org
. - Click add.
-
For Cloudflare:
- Go to the DNS settings and add a record.
- For
Type
, selectCNAME
. - For
Name
, type@
for the root. - For
Target
, set it todns.nekoweb.org
. - Click save.
-
View the status in the Nekoweb settings to confirm it worked.
-
Done! Just wait for it to propagate and it’ll be ready to go.
Common Porkbun Errors
-
Answer must be IPv4 Address
Make sure you are selecting an ALIAS record.
-
Another record type already exists for that host.
Delete any other DNS records. If you have
pixie.porkbun.com
, you do not need it.
Sorry if you don’t use either of these services, it’s all I’ve used, and it’s all I can help with. If your custom domain continues to not work after a few hours, contact us in the discord!
