Custom Domain

Every Typeroll site gets a free subdomain at yoursite.sites.typeroll.com. To use your own domain (e.g. acme.se), connect it in the portal and update your DNS.

1. Open the portal

   Go to app.typeroll.com → your site → Settings → Domain.

2. Enter your domain

   Type your domain (e.g. acme.se or www.acme.se) and click Connect.

   The portal will show you the DNS records to add.

3. Add DNS records

   Log in to your DNS provider (Cloudflare, GoDaddy, Namecheap, etc.) and add the records shown. Typically:

   Type	Name	Value
   CNAME	@ or www	your-project.pages.dev

   If your DNS provider doesn’t support CNAME on the root (@), use an ANAME/ALIAS record instead, or point to a www subdomain with a redirect.

   Tip

   If your domain is already on Cloudflare, you can add the Cloudflare Pages project directly in the Cloudflare dashboard under Pages → your project → Custom domains. Set the DNS record to DNS only (grey cloud) — not proxied. Cloudflare Pages handles its own SSL; proxying would break it.

4. Wait for propagation

   DNS changes can take a few minutes to a few hours. The portal shows a green checkmark when the domain is verified and SSL is provisioned.

5. Redeploy

   Trigger a new deploy so the canonical_url and OG URLs in the built HTML use your custom domain:

   Deploy the site

Subdomain vs root domain

Setup	Example	Notes
Root domain	acme.se	Requires ANAME/ALIAS or Cloudflare Proxy
www subdomain	www.acme.se	CNAME works everywhere
Subdomain	studio.acme.se	CNAME works everywhere

For root domains with a registrar that doesn’t support ANAME/ALIAS, the easiest solution is to use www as the canonical domain and redirect acme.se → www.acme.se at the DNS level.

Sites that use www as the primary domain

Some sites — especially those migrated from WordPress — use www.acme.se as their canonical URL rather than the bare apex domain. Here’s how to set that up correctly.

DNS records

Add both records so both forms of the domain resolve:

Type	Name	Target	Proxy
CNAME	www	your-project.pages.dev	DNS only
CNAME	@	your-project.pages.dev	DNS only

If your registrar doesn’t support CNAME on @, use an ANAME/ALIAS record there instead.

Add both domains in Cloudflare Pages

In Cloudflare Pages → your project → Custom domains, add both:

• www.acme.se (primary)
• acme.se (apex)

Redirect apex → www

Cloudflare Pages’ _redirects file only handles path-based redirects — it can’t redirect between domains. Use a Cloudflare Redirect Rule instead:

1. Cloudflare Dashboard → your domain → Rules → Redirect Rules → Create rule
2. Set the condition: Hostname equals acme.se
3. Set the action: Redirect to https://www.acme.se${uri.path} — status 301

This ensures visitors who land on acme.se are always sent to www.acme.se.

Tip

When you set Connect in the Typeroll portal, enter www.acme.se (with www) as the custom domain. That way all generated canonical URLs, OG tags, and sitemaps will reference the www version — exactly what search engines expect when www is the primary address.

What you don’t need to change in Typeroll

The _redirects file Typeroll generates handles path redirects only (old slugs → new slugs). The apex → www redirect lives entirely in Cloudflare and doesn’t need any Typeroll configuration.

SSL

SSL certificates are provisioned automatically by Cloudflare Pages. No configuration needed.
