This document aims to help local users learning Framer by addressing the difficulties of lacking Korean resources. It translates the content from the official blog into Korean and adds practical information. We hope this provides some help to those using Framer.

To make your website accessible online, you need to Publish your project. Click the Publish button in the top right corner to initiate site hosting. Once Publish is complete, you can check the URL on the Publish sheet. If there are changes to your project, you can republish anytime by clicking the “Update” button.

Adding a Free Custom Domain

By default, websites are hosted on a Framer subdomain, and this address cannot be changed directly. However, you can add a custom domain using one of the following options.

1. Add a free Framer subdomain

2. Connect an external domain you own

The first option is free, and Framer automatically configures the DNS settings to connect your domain within seconds. Enter the desired string, choose one of the domain options (framer.website, framer.photos, framer.media, framer.wiki), and submit.

Connecting an External Domain

To publish a Framer website with a custom domain purchased from a web hosting service, follow these steps:

1. Buy a domain from providers like Cloudflare or GoDaddy.

2. Go to the Site Settings' ”Domains” page and select “Connect a domain you own.”

3. Enter your domain and add the DNS records provided by Framer to your domain provider's DNS settings.

Most domain registrars provide a separate DNS management panel. Typically, you can find the DNS Records section in Domain Settings. Below are guides for major registrars.

• NameCheap: A Record and CNAME

• GoDaddy: A Record and CNAME

• Ionos 1&1: A Record and CNAME

• Gandi: A Record and CNAME

• Cloudflare: A Record and CNAME

• Porkbun: A Record and CNAME

Domain Configuration

To set up a naked or apex domain (e.g., example.com), you need to configure two A Records and one CNAME in DNS settings.

• A Record: Use the static IPv4 addresses provided by Framer

• CNAME Record: Use for redirection to the “www” version of the domain

You can also find necessary records for Framer websites in the Domains tab of your project settings. Ensure that no other A Record or AAAA Record is set for the domain, as these values may conflict with Framer settings.
Note: Naked, apex domains refer to domains without prefixes like www.

Subdomain Configuration

To set up a subdomain (e.g., subdomain.example.com), create a CNAME record in the DNS settings. Some DNS providers may require a trailing period (e.g., sites.framer.app.). Depending on the provider, you may need to input the entire subdomain or just the subdomain portion.

Verifying Changes

DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate worldwide, though they typically take effect much sooner. Once the domain is connected, you can access your website through the new domain.
