Connect a domain from NameSilo

NameSilo uses a dense tabular DNS manager and often creates default PARKED records on registration. Those must be removed or www can round-robin to the wrong place.

Official NameSilo help: DNS Manager 

Record to create

FieldValue
TypeCNAME
Hostnamewww
Target Hostname / Valuecname.vercel-dns.com

NameSilo does not allow @ as a CNAME hostname. Use www (or another subdomain), not the apex, for this CNAME path.

Steps

  1. Log into NameSilo and open the domain manager / DNS manager page.
  2. Click the blue globe icon (Manage DNS) in the Options column for your domain.
  3. Pre-configuration check: Click the red X to delete any records with PARKED in the name, plus any existing www records. Confirm the prompts.
  4. Under Select the resource record type you want to create, click CNAME.
  5. In Hostname, enter www.
  6. In Target Hostname (value), enter cname.vercel-dns.com.
  7. Click Submit, then wait for the page to reload and confirm the record appears.

Finish in Bool

  1. Add www.yourdomain.com under Domains in your Bool project.
  2. Click Refresh until status is Active.
  3. Visit https://www.yourdomain.com.
