Can I use my own domain name?
Yes, you may assign your own domain name to point to your Playbook. Choose “Custom Domain” in the customize pane, enter the domain you wish to use and hit Save.
Next you need to point that domain at Dribbble’s servers. Head over to your domain provider’s website (Hover, GoDaddy, Amazon Route 53, DNSimple, etc) and find where you manage your DNS settings. This is where you create the record to point your domain at your Dribbble Playbook.
If you’re using a subdomain (like www.example.com or playbook.example.com), create a CNAME record with domains.dribbble.com as the value.
If you’re using a root domain (like example.com), create an ALIAS or ANAME record with domains.dribbble.com as the value. The name of this type of record will vary by your provider.
If your provider does not support root domains pointing to a hostname, you can use an A record pointing to our IP address instead. Create a new A record for your root domain, and enter 34.235.13.16 as the value.
We strongly encourage using domains.dribbble.com if at all possible instead of the IP address. The IP address is not guaranteed to stay the same forever. It’s very unlikely that we’d have to change it, but it could happen and that would cause your Playbook to stop working until you update your DNS records to point to the new IP address. If this does happen, we’ll send out communication to all Playbook users alerting them of the need to update.
Do you offer SSL support for Playbook?
We do! Playbooks on our subdomain (USERNAME.dribbble.com) already have SSL enabled, so you don’t need to do anything for those. For custom domains, you just need to update your DNS records to follow the instructions outlined above. A certificate will automatically be generated the first time you go to your Playbook!
How long will it take for my domain to become available?
The time it takes for your domain to become available can vary and may take up to 24 hours. DNS propagation depends on your DNS hosting provider and is beyond our control.
