Setting up a website on Canva with a custom domain is a straightforward process that allows you to give your professionally designed website a unique, branded address. This functionality is available to Canva Pro and Canva Teams users. You have two main options: purchasing a new domain directly through Canva or connecting an existing domain you already own.

Option 1: Purchase and Set Up a New Domain on Canva
This is the simplest method, as Canva handles the entire process, from purchase to setup.

Publish Your Website: Open the website you've designed in Canva and click the "Publish website" button.

Choose Your Domain: You'll be given two options: "Free domain" or "Purchase a new domain." Select the purchase option.

Search and Claim: Search for your desired domain name (e.g., "mybrandname.com"). Canva will show you if it's available and the annual price. If it is, you can proceed to claim it.

Enter Your Information: Fill out your personal details and contact information.

Complete the Purchase: Review your order and complete the payment.

Once the payment is processed, Canva will automatically set up the domain for you. It may take up to 72 hours for the website to be fully live and accessible to everyone on the internet.

Option 2: Connect an Existing Domain to a Canva Website
If you already own a domain from a third-party registrar like GoDaddy or Namecheap, you can connect it to your Canva website.

Publish Your Website: In the Canva editor, click the "Publish website" button.

Select "Existing Domain": Choose the option to use an existing domain.

Verify Your Domain: Canva will provide you with a unique TXT record. You will need to copy this record.

Update DNS Settings: Log in to your domain registrar's account (e.g., GoDaddy, Hostinger) and navigate to the DNS settings or DNS zone editor for your domain.

Add the TXT Record: Create a new TXT record and paste the value provided by Canva. You may also need to delete any conflicting records (e.g., existing A and CNAME records) for the connection to work properly.

Add A Records: You will also need to add A records that point to the IP address provided by Canva.

Verify the Connection: Return to Canva and click "Verify." The process can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 72 hours to complete as the DNS settings propagate across the internet.
