Connecting a custom domain to your Thridify-powered AR Education experience helps deliver a branded, secure, and professional learning environment. If your domain is registered with Namecheap, this step-by-step guide walks you through the DNS setup required to connect it seamlessly with Thridify—no advanced technical expertise needed.

Why Use a Custom Domain with Thridify?

A custom domain allows you to:

• Maintain brand consistency across AR learning experiences
• Build trust with SSL-secured, browser-based access
• Launch AR content without apps or complex integrations

Prerequisites

Before starting, ensure you have:

• A domain registered with Namecheap
• Access to Namecheap’s Advanced DNS settings
• A verification token from your Thridify (AR Education) dashboard

Step 1: Get DNS Details from Thridify

1. Log in to your Thridify dashboard
2. Navigate to Settings → Domain Settings
3. Click Add Custom Domain
4. Enter your domain (example: learn.yourcompany.com)
5. Copy the verification token and CNAME target

These values will be used in Namecheap DNS.

Step 2: Access Namecheap Advanced DNS

1. Sign in to Namecheap
2. Go to Domain List → Manage
3. Open the Advanced DNS tab

This is where you’ll add your TXT and CNAME records.

Step 3: Add TXT Record for Domain Verification

Add a new record under Host Records:

• Type: TXT Record
• Host: _thridify-verify.learn (replace learn with your subdomain)
• Value: thridify-verify=YOUR_TOKEN
• TTL: Automatic or 5 minutes

This step confirms domain ownership with Thridify.

For root domains, use _thridify-verify as the host.

Step 4: Add CNAME Record for Routing

Add another record:

• Type: CNAME Record
• Host: Your subdomain only (example: learn)
• Value: yourcompany.thridify.com
• TTL: Automatic or 5 minutes

Namecheap automatically appends your main domain, so only enter the subdomain.

Step 5: Wait for DNS Propagation

DNS updates usually propagate within 5–30 minutes but can take up to 48 hours. You can check status using online DNS checker tools.

Step 6: Verify Domain in Thridify

Return to Settings → Domain Settings in Thridify, click Verify, and once approved, SSL will be provisioned automatically.

Final Thoughts

Connecting a Namecheap domain with Thridify ensures a secure, branded, and scalable AR Education experience. With just a TXT and CNAME record, your custom domain is ready to deliver immersive learning—no apps, no coding, and no friction.
