Custom Domains
The Domains page (under Configuration) lets your school run on your own web address — for example learn.your-school.com — instead of (or in addition to) the default Weblearnia address.
How it works
- Add the domain. Enter the hostname you want to use.
- Verify ownership. Weblearnia gives you a TXT DNS record to add at your domain registrar. This proves you control the domain.
- Point traffic. Add the A/CNAME record(s) Weblearnia shows so visits to your hostname reach the platform.
- Verify. Once DNS has propagated, run verification. On success, Weblearnia registers the hostname and a TLS certificate is issued automatically.
The page shows both record types (TXT for ownership, A/CNAME for routing), an SSL status chip, and a retry option if something needs another attempt.
DNS records explained
- TXT record — proves you own the domain. Required before verification succeeds.
- A or CNAME record — routes visitors from your hostname to Weblearnia.
DNS changes can take time to propagate (minutes to hours, depending on your provider). If verification fails immediately after adding records, wait and retry.
SSL / certificates
Once routing is in place, certificates are issued and renewed automatically. The SSL status chip reflects progress (pending → issued). If it stays pending, confirm your A/CNAME records are correct and retry.
Primary domain
A school can have multiple domains; one is the primary address used in links and emails. Until a custom domain is verified, your default Weblearnia address keeps working.
Plan note
Custom domains may require a particular plan. If you see an upgrade marker, see Plan & Subscription.
Troubleshooting
- Verification fails: double-check the exact TXT value and that it's on the right host; allow time for propagation.
- SSL stuck on pending: confirm the routing records, then retry.
- Still not loading: ensure no conflicting records exist for that hostname at your registrar.
