How do I add my own domain?

  • In the 'My domains' section, click the 'Add new' button
  • In the window that opens, enter your top-level domain (for example, example.com)
  • Important: subdomains (www.example.com) are not supported, only top-level domains
  • Follow the instructions: set the NS servers ns1.omlen.site and ns2.omlen.site at your domain registrar
  • In your account, on the domain card, click 'Submit for verification'
  • Wait for the domain to be verified (verification can take up to 24 hours after changing the NS servers)
  • After successful verification, link the domain to a project — the SSL certificate will be issued automatically within half an hour
  • The domain must be registered with any domain registrar
  • You must have access to change the NS servers (domain delegation) at your registrar
  • Basic DNS records are created automatically, there is no need to add A records manually
  • Subdomains (www.example.com, blog.example.com) are not supported
  • Use only top-level domains (example.com)

How do I configure DNS for a domain?

  • After adding the domain in your account, open the DNS setup instructions
  • Set the NS servers at your domain registrar: ns1.omlen.site and ns2.omlen.site
  • Log in to the domain control panel at your registrar
  • Find the 'NS servers' or 'Domain delegation' section
  • Enter ns1.omlen.site and ns2.omlen.site as the name servers
  • Save the changes and wait for DNS to propagate
  • Additional DNS records can be added in your account — 'Edit DNS records' on the domain card
  • The exact name of the section may vary depending on the registrar
  • Basic records (A and others) are created automatically, there is no need to add A records manually at your registrar
  • DNS changes can take up to 24 hours to apply

03

How do I verify a domain?

  • After specifying the NS servers (ns1.omlen.site and ns2.omlen.site) at your registrar, return to your account
  • On the domain card, click the 'Submit for verification' button (the refresh icon)
  • The system will start checking the domain delegation to our NS servers
  • The verification status will be shown on the domain card
  • Verification can take up to 24 hours after changing the NS servers due to DNS propagation
  • If the NS servers are set incorrectly or the changes have not yet applied, verification will fail
  • Make sure that exactly ns1.omlen.site and ns2.omlen.site are set at your registrar
  • If verification fails, check the delegation settings at your registrar

04

When is the SSL certificate issued?

  • The SSL certificate is issued automatically within half an hour after the domain is linked to the project
  • To get an SSL certificate, the domain must be successfully verified
  • After the domain is linked to the project, the automatic SSL certificate issuance process will begin
  • You can track the SSL status on the domain card
  • The SSL certificate issuance process is fully automatic
  • You do not need to take any additional actions

05

How do I link my own domain to a project?

  • Make sure the domain has been successfully verified
  • In your account, find the project you want to link the domain to
  • Click the three-dots icon (⋮) in the project row
  • In the menu that opens, select 'Link domain'
  • In the window that opens, select the verified domain from the list
  • Click the 'Link' button
  • The domain will be linked to the project, and the SSL certificate will start being issued automatically
  • After the domain is linked, the project will be available at your domain address
  • The SSL certificate will be issued automatically within half an hour
  • The domain must be successfully verified before linking it to a project
