Connecting a Turtini website to a custom domain

Builder sites publish to a Turtini subdomain by default. Connecting Cloudflare lets you publish to your own domain — e.g. www.yourcompany.com — with HTTPS handled automatically at the edge.

To connect a Builder site to a custom domain:
1. Make sure the zone for your domain is already active in Cloudflare (see "Managing domains and DNS records in Cloudflare")
2. In Turtini, go to the site in Websites → Builder and open the Publish tab
3. Click "Connect custom domain"
4. Choose the zone from the dropdown and enter the hostname you want to publish at (e.g. www, or blog)
5. Turtini creates or updates a proxied CNAME record pointing that hostname at Turtini's public site host
6. The custom domain appears on the site immediately and resolves within a few seconds

You can connect multiple hostnames to the same site (for example, the apex and www). To point the apex itself at your site, use a CNAME at the apex — Cloudflare supports CNAME flattening on the root record.

Disconnecting removes the Turtini-side mapping but leaves the CNAME record in Cloudflare intact. Delete the record manually in the DNS tab if you no longer want the domain pointed at Turtini.

If the custom domain doesn't resolve after a minute:
• Confirm the zone status is "Active" in Cloudflare (nameservers must already be delegated)
• Confirm the CNAME record is proxied (the orange cloud must be on)
• Confirm SSL/TLS mode is Full (strict) so the edge can present Turtini's origin certificate
