Waivio is introducing custom domain names for social shopping websites.

Previously, users were restricted to launching websites under the *.social.gifts domain. This update allows for the use of custom domain names, providing more flexibility and branding opportunities for website owners.

Domain Protection via Cloudflare

All custom domains must have a robust DDoS protection. This service is provided by Cloudflare.com at no additional cost and is known for its effectiveness in safeguarding websites against DDoS and other attacks.

Domain Configuration Requirements

Before launching a new website with a custom domain, certain configuration steps must be completed:

- General Instructions: Domain configuration via GoDaddy, Cloudflare.

- Secure Connections: Enforcing the use of HTTPS protocol.

- Smooth Redirects: Forwarding from 'www' to the apex (primary) domain.

New Domain Registration

For those who do not yet own a domain name, purchasing directly through Cloudflare.com might be a cost-effective option.

Additionally, domains purchased through Cloudflare are automatically hosted on their nameservers, which ensures DDoS protection and simplifies the setup process.
