Here's a step-by-step guide to connect your custom domain to a Canva website using cPanel:

✅ 1. Get Your Canva Website's DNS Records
In Canva, go to:

Website → Publish → Custom Domain.

Choose Use My Own Domain.

Enter your domain name (e.g., www.yourdomain.com).

Canva will give you:

CNAME Record (for www)

makefile
Copy
Edit
Name: www
Type: CNAME
Value: canva.site
A Record (optional for root domain)

makefile
Copy
Edit
Name: @
Type: A
Value: 104.18.18.39 and 104.18.19.39
✅ 2. Log In to Your cPanel
Go to your hosting provider and log in to cPanel.

Find Zone Editor or DNS Zone Editor under Domains.

✅ 3. Add DNS Records
Add CNAME for www
Click Manage under your domain.

Click Add Record → Select CNAME.

Fill in:

vbnet
Copy
Edit
Name: www
Type: CNAME
Record: canva.site
TTL: 14400 (default)
Click Add Record.

Add A Records for Root Domain (Optional but Recommended)
Still in Zone Editor → Add A Record.

Add:

makefile
Copy
Edit
Name: @ (or leave blank)
Type: A
Record: 104.18.18.39
Add another:

makefile
Copy
Edit
Name: @
Type: A
Record: 104.18.19.39
✅ 4. Remove Conflicting Records
Delete any old A or CNAME records that conflict with your new setup (e.g., existing www records).

✅ 5. Save and Wait for Propagation
DNS changes can take up to 24-48 hours, but often update in a few hours.

Check status using WhatsMyDNS.

✅ 6. Complete Setup in Canva
Go back to Canva → Click Verify.

Once verified, your custom domain will point to your Canva site.

✅ Bonus: Redirect Non-www to www
In cPanel → Redirects:

Set up Permanent (301) Redirect from yourdomain.com → www.yourdomain.com.
