By default, your blog lives at yourblog.writizzy.com.
You choose your subdomain in Settings → Domains under "Blog Url".
Important: Avoid changing this frequently. It impacts SEO—search engines see it as a new site every time you change it.
Want to use your own domain? Add it in the "Custom Domain" field.
Once saved, we'll show you the DNS records to configure at your domain registrar.
The DNS configuration depends on whether you're using a subdomain or an apex domain (root domain).
blog.yoursite.com)Add a CNAME record with these values:
blog.yoursite.com)yourblog.writizzy.com (replace with your Writizzy subdomain)This is the simplest and most reliable option. CNAME records work perfectly for subdomains.
yoursite.com)Apex domains (also called root or naked domains) require a different approach since CNAME records are not allowed at the root level according to DNS standards.
Option 1: ALIAS record (Recommended)
Many DNS providers support ALIAS records (also called ANAME or flatten CNAME). This is the best option as it works like a CNAME but for apex domains:
@ (represents your root domain)yourblog.writizzy.comPopular providers supporting ALIAS records: Bunny.net (ANAME), Cloudflare (flatten CNAME), Hetzner, DNSimple, DNS Made Easy, AWS Route 53, and many others.
Option 2: A record
If your DNS provider doesn't support ALIAS records, use an A record:
@78.47.126.97Note: A records point to a static IP address. If our server IP changes in the future, you'll need to update this record.
DNS changes can take up to 48 hours to propagate globally, though it's usually much faster (often within minutes to a few hours).
You can verify your DNS configuration using online tools like DNS Checker or use the "Verify domain" button in your Writizzy settings.
That's it. Once DNS is configured and verified, your blog will be accessible on your custom domain.
