This guide assumes you have playit premium and have purchased a domain name on https://porkbun.com. For other Domain Registars visit {{< link "add-external-domain" >}}.
Adding a second level domain to playit.gg (like example.com)
In this guide I will be adding the domain olumpu.com to playit.gg, your domain will be different.
1. Visit your domain's management page
Visit Porkbun's domains dashboard
![manage domain]({{< static "post-img/porkbun-manage-domain.png" >}})
2. DNS under the Nameservers section
Find the button titled NS and press it.
3. Enter playit's DNS nameservers
On the provided lines, add the following name servers
ns1.playit-dns.com
ns2.playit-dns.com
and press the blue Submit button to save your changes.
![edit nameservers]({{< static "post-img/porkbun-edit-nameservers.png" >}})
4. Add your external domain to playit.gg
Visit https://playit.gg/account/settings/domains/add-external to add your external domain.
Make sure the domain name you enter matches the domain name that you updated on Porkbun. In this example it is olumpu.com. For you it will be different.
![playit add external domain]({{< static "post-img/playit-add-external-domain.png" >}})
You're done! You can now assign your domain to your tunnel.
![playit domain added]({{< static "post-img/playit-domain-added.png" >}})
Adding a sub domain to playit.gg (like sub.example.com)
Instead of adding our entire olumpu.com domain to playit.gg, we will instead the sub domain playit.olumpu.com.
1. Visit your domain's management page
Visit Porkbun's domains dashboard and press on the "dns" button
![manage domain]({{< static "post-img/porkbun-manage-domain.png" >}})
2. Add a new record
- For Type, select:
NS. - For Host, enter the sub domain you want. Here we'll add
"playit"for"playit.olumpu.com". This can be whatever you want. - For Answer/Value, enter
ns1.playit-dns.com. - For TTL, leave it as the default
Then press the Add button to save the record.
![Porkbun add ns record]({{< static "post-img/porkbun-add-ns-record.png" >}})
4. Add your external sub domain to playit.gg
Visit https://playit.gg/account/settings/domains/add-external to add your external domain.
Make sure you enter your sub domain. In our case this will be playit.olumpu.com.
![playit add sub domain]({{< static "post-img/playit-add-sub-domain.png" >}})
After adding your domain, you should be all set.
