Custom Domain, DNS Routing & Automated SSL Setup

Learn how to route your custom domain (e.g., www.yourdomain.com) to Nimbica Anycast edge servers with automated SSL certificate provisioning.

πŸ“‹This is an interactive step-by-step HowTo guide with 3 verified installation steps.

DNS Routing Architecture

To deliver static pages from your custom domain with sub-second TTFB globally, point your domain's DNS records to Nimbica's Anycast edge network.

Recommended DNS Configuration

For subdomain setups (e.g. www.yourdomain.com), create a CNAME record pointing to cname.nimbica.com. For root/apex domains, use ALIAS, ANAME, or Cloudflare CNAME Flattening.

Automated SSL / TLS Certificates

Nimbica automatically provisions and renews free Let's Encrypt TLS 1.3 certificates for all verified custom domains. Certificates are typically active within 60 seconds of DNS record propagation.
